Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of Polygonatum processing technology, and in particular to a processing equipment and process for Polygonatum processed by nine steaming and nine drying. Background Technology
[0002] After being unearthed, Polygonatum sibiricum requires further processing before it can be consumed. One method is to simmer the cleaned herb thoroughly, then place it in a ceramic simmering pot with water and other ingredients, and slowly cook it over a low flame until done. Current research indicates that simmered Polygonatum sibiricum has a higher content of active ingredients and a better taste.
[0003] However, to improve the quality of Polygonatum, the traditional Chinese medicine method of repeatedly processing it by steaming and sun-drying after braising can correct the medicinal properties of Polygonatum, reduce toxic components, and better exert its efficacy. However, the existing nine-steaming and nine-drying processing of Polygonatum lacks complete integrated steaming and drying equipment. During the steaming and drying process of Polygonatum, it is necessary to manually move Polygonatum back and forth between the steaming and drying equipment, which greatly reduces the efficiency of steaming and drying. Moreover, during the transportation of Polygonatum, there is a risk of Polygonatum being spilled on the ground and contaminated, which greatly reduces the hygiene and safety of Polygonatum steaming.
[0004] A circulating processing device for nine-stage steaming and nine-stage drying of Polygonatum sibiricum, with announcement number CN114748573B, includes an electric steam boiler. A layered steaming connector is fixedly installed on the top of the steam boiler. A connecting corridor is fixedly connected to the right side of the layered steaming connector. A ventilated drying connector is fixedly connected to the right end of the connecting corridor. A refrigeration fan is fixedly connected to the bottom of the ventilated drying connector, symmetrically arranged to the left and right of the layered steaming connector. This invention uses several dual-shaft drive motors and several sets of drive screws to form several sets of parallel, equidistantly distributed twin-screw drive supports between the layered connector and the ventilated drying connector. Several double-eared steamers are alternately and movably inserted into the inner cavities of the layered connector and the ventilated drying connector through these twin-screw drive supports. During the steaming process of Polygonatum sibiricum, the steaming and drying transfer work of Polygonatum sibiricum is completed by these twin-screw drive supports instead of manual labor, achieving fully automated integrated steaming and drying of Polygonatum sibiricum.
[0005] The above technical solution can automatically switch between the steaming and drying equipment for Polygonatum sibiricum. However, the equipment can only be shut down and the Polygonatum sibiricum removed after all the steaming and sieving is completed. This is not conducive to realizing the assembly line operation of the steaming and drying of Polygonatum sibiricum and cannot quickly realize the switching operation between steaming and drying. Therefore, it needs to be improved. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a nine-steaming and nine-drying processing equipment and technology for processing Polygonatum sibiricum using the stewing method.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A processing device for simmering and drying Polygonatum sibiricum using a nine-steaming and nine-drying method includes a connecting component. The two ends of the connecting component are respectively provided with an electric steam component and an electric heating drying component. The electric steam component and the electric heating drying component are provided with a closed pick-and-place mechanism. The connecting assembly contains a lifting power mechanism, which is equipped with a sliding part and a lead screw nut. A lead screw is rotatably sleeved at the bottom of the connecting assembly, and the lead screw nut is threaded onto the lead screw. A support column is fixed at the upper end of the lead screw, and a flipping linkage mechanism is provided inside the support column. The flipping linkage mechanism is equipped with a first bidirectional telescopic component and a second bidirectional telescopic component. The first bidirectional telescopic component is fixed at the upper end of the support column, and clamping plates are fixed at both ends of the first bidirectional telescopic component. Clamping fasteners are rotatably connected to the clamping plates. The two ends of the second bidirectional telescopic component respectively abut against the two clamping fasteners. A locking mechanism is connected to the clamping fasteners, and the two locking mechanisms are respectively connected to the two clamping plates. The clamping plate and the clamping fastener are provided together with a support frame assembly, and a support screen plate assembly is installed on the support frame assembly. The two support screen plate assemblies are respectively set in the electric steam assembly and the electric heating drying assembly.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, the present invention can steam and dry the stewed Polygonatum nine times, and avoid contact with the outside world during the preparation process. At the same time, it can ensure the continuous electric heating drying and steam steaming operations during the preparation process, and can carry out automatic cycle operation. Moreover, it can be quickly replaced after processing, thus improving the efficiency and quality of Polygonatum processing.
[0009] Preferably, the enclosed loading and unloading mechanism includes two enclosed components disposed on both sides of the electric steam component and the electric heating drying component; A sealing plate is provided through each side of the electric steam component and the electric heating drying component. A connection port is provided on each side of the electric steam component and the electric heating drying component. An electric lifting component is fixed at the bottom inside the connection component. The two ends of the electric lifting component pass through two connection ports and are fixedly connected to the two sealing plates.
[0010] Furthermore, the electric steam assembly uses electric heating steam equipment, which is convenient for operators to control the steam generation. It can steam the Polygonatum rhizome that has been stewed on the sieve plate assembly inside the electric steam assembly. Its component settings and operating principles are all existing technologies. The electric heating drying assembly uses electric heating drying equipment, which can dry the steamed Polygonatum rhizome. Its component settings and operating principles are all existing technologies. At the same time, in order to ensure the safety of use, corresponding safety components are added according to the actual situation for use. Meanwhile, a sealing component is installed on the outside of the electric steam component and the electric heating drying component. The sealing component can be opened and closed, and corresponding heat insulation components are installed. As needed, corresponding observation components can also be installed. It can be opened as needed, and after being closed, it can ensure the operation of the electric steam component and the electric heating drying component. Openings are made on the opposite side of the electric steam assembly and the electric heating drying assembly. The lifting and lowering of the sealing plate can be controlled by the electric lifting assembly in the connecting assembly. The lifting and lowering of the sealing plate facilitates the extension of the corresponding parts in the connecting assembly into the corresponding electric steam assembly and electric heating drying assembly. The carrying sieve plate assembly in the electric steam assembly and electric heating drying assembly is then taken out and alternated to carry out the nine-steaming and nine-drying process. In actual production and manufacturing, the connecting components can also adopt a circular structure, which can better fit the situation when the parts rotate; at the same time, the automated components in this application are all existing technology components, and the required components, component and power supply connection schemes, and component control schemes are all existing technologies, or adaptive modifications made to the equipment specifications and shapes under the existing technology.
[0011] Preferably, both the electric steam assembly and the electric heating drying assembly are equipped with a support plate, and the two support screen plate assemblies are respectively inserted into the two support plates.
[0012] Furthermore, the side of the support plate near the sealing plate is set as an inclined triangular structure, which can effectively correspond to the edge of the support screen plate assembly. The support screen plate assembly can adopt a tray-like structure with edges on both sides so that it can abut against the upper end of the support plate and effectively bear the load. At the same time, the lower end of the support screen plate assembly is set as a filter screen structure, and a partition structure is set at the bottom to bear dripping water droplets, etc.
[0013] Preferably, the lifting power mechanism includes a hydraulic cylinder assembly fixed within a connecting assembly. A linkage plate is slidably sleeved on the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder assembly. A pressing plate is fixed to the end of the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder assembly. A vertical rod is slidably sleeved on both the pressing plate and the linkage plate. An elastic element is sleeved on the vertical rod. The two ends of the elastic element are respectively fixed to opposite sides of the pressing plate and the linkage plate. A connecting plate is fixed to the lower end of the vertical rod. A support member is fixed at the bottom of the connecting assembly, and an abutment plate is fixed at the upper end of the support member. The piston rod end of the abutment plate is fixed at the lower end of the connecting plate. The sliding assembly and the linkage plate are fixedly connected, and the lead screw nut is rotatably sleeved on one side of the connecting plate.
[0014] Furthermore, the hydraulic cylinder assembly allows the piston rod to be raised and lowered under the operator's control in order to provide power; During the initial operation, the staff put the stewed Polygonatum into the electric steam component through the sealing component on the electric steam component for steaming. After steaming, the sealing plate on the opposite side of the electric steam component and the electric heating drying component can be lowered to connect the components inside the component and complete the transfer operation of the carrying sieve plate component. During operation, the components within the connecting assembly need to extend the first bidirectional telescopic assembly, engage the clamping plate and clamping fasteners to grasp and retract the first bidirectional telescopic assembly, all while being powered by the power component. Then, the rack and pinion drive the first bidirectional telescopic assembly and clamping plate to rotate and switch sides. After the first bidirectional telescopic assembly extends and the carrying screen plate assembly switches sides, the clamping plate and clamping fasteners loosen, allowing the first bidirectional telescopic assembly to retract back into the connecting assembly. Simultaneously, the lead screw returns to its initial state for the next operation. The sealing plate then seals the corresponding electric steam assembly and electric heating drying assembly for further operation.
[0015] The hydraulic cylinder assembly can drive the extrusion plate to apply pressure to the elastic element, and the elastic element can apply pressure to the linkage plate, so that the sliding part can descend and abut against the push plate at the lower end. The push plate at the lower end rotates downward, which can provide power for the extension of the first bidirectional telescopic assembly. When the hydraulic cylinder assembly drives the extrusion plate to rise, causing the elastic element to drive the linkage plate and the sliding part to rise and abut against the push plate at the upper end to make it rotate, it can provide power for the retraction of the first bidirectional telescopic assembly. Meanwhile, the sliding assembly adopts a circular structure, which can ensure that it fully contacts the push plate when the support column rotates, so as to ensure the stability of the push plate position; When the elastic element is compressed or stretched, the vertical rod can prevent the elastic element from deviating from its movement. Meanwhile, after the hydraulic cylinder assembly has finished moving, it can control the piston rod of the contact plate to extend and retract, so as to drive the vertical rod to rise and fall through the connecting plate. The vertical rod is slidably installed on the extrusion plate and the linkage plate, and its rise and fall are not affected. At the same time, when the connecting plate drives the screw nut to rise and fall, the screw drives the support column to rotate, so as to drive the first bidirectional telescopic assembly to rotate through the support column. The rise and fall of the screw nut can control the screw to rotate between 0 and 180 degrees.
[0016] Preferably, the flipping linkage mechanism includes a through opening on the support column, a rotating shaft is rotatably sleeved in the through opening, two push plates are fixed on one side of the rotating shaft, both push plates pass through the through opening and extend to one side of the support column, a sliding assembly is located between the two push plates, a gear is fixed on the rotating shaft, both push plates are located on one side of the gear, and a rack is slidably installed on the side of the support column away from the push plates, the rack meshing with the gear. The upper end of the support column is provided with a connecting groove, and the pushing member is disposed through the connecting groove and the first bidirectional telescopic component. The pushing member is disposed at the upper end of the straight rack, and the upper end of the pushing member is fixedly connected to the second bidirectional telescopic component. The rack is equipped with a separation mechanism, which is connected to the first bidirectional telescopic assembly.
[0017] Furthermore, the sliding assembly is raised and lowered so that it comes into contact with the two push plate components on the pivot assembly; After contacting the push plate at the upper end, it can continue to rise so that the rotating shaft can drive the gear to rotate, and then the gear can drive the rack to descend. After contacting the push plate at the upper end, it continues to descend, causing the rotating shaft to drive the gear to rotate, which in turn causes the gear to drive the rack to rise. The rack is installed through the through opening, meaning the rack is located inside the sliding assembly, and their movements do not affect each other; When the rack rises, it can contact the lower end of the pusher to push the pusher to rise; Meanwhile, both the first bidirectional telescopic assembly and the second bidirectional telescopic assembly consist of a central rod and two tubes sleeved at both ends of the rod. The central rod of the first bidirectional telescopic assembly is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support column, and the central rod of the second bidirectional telescopic assembly is fixedly connected to the upper end of the pusher. The upper end of the pusher passes through the connecting groove and extends to the upper end of the first bidirectional telescopic assembly. The two pipes at both ends of the first bidirectional telescopic component are fixedly connected to the two clamping plates respectively, which can ensure the stability of the position of the clamping plates and facilitate movement under the action of the pipes at both ends of the first bidirectional telescopic component. The two pipes at both ends of the second bidirectional telescopic component are slidably installed on the two clamping plates respectively. When the clamping plates move under the action of the first bidirectional telescopic component, they can drive the two pipes at both ends of the second bidirectional telescopic component to move. At the same time, under the action of the pusher, the rod and the two pipes in the second bidirectional telescopic component are raised and lowered relative to the clamping plates. The distance between the two clamping plates is controlled by the operation of the separation mechanism.
[0018] Preferably, the separation mechanism includes two inclined push rods rotatably connected to the upper end of the rack, and the upper ends of the two inclined push rods are respectively rotatably connected to the two ends of the first bidirectional telescopic assembly.
[0019] Furthermore, when the rack moves up and down, the angle between the two inclined push rods changes. When the angle between the two inclined push rods changes, the distance between the two tubes at both ends of the first bidirectional telescopic assembly can be controlled to change. It should be noted that the two tubes at both ends of the first bidirectional telescopic assembly can only operate in the same plane and cannot be raised or lowered. When the rack rises, the angle between the two inclined push rods on the rack increases, causing the two inclined push rods to gradually move in a direction parallel to the first bidirectional telescopic assembly. The two inclined push rods can push the two pipes at both ends of the first bidirectional telescopic assembly to operate, so that the distance between the two pipes gradually increases. This can control the clamping plate on the first bidirectional telescopic assembly to insert into the electric steam assembly or electric heating drying assembly on one side. When the rack descends, it drives the inclined push rod to move. The angle between the two inclined push rods gradually decreases, and the rack moves in a direction perpendicular to the first bidirectional telescopic assembly. This causes the distance between the two pipes in the first bidirectional telescopic assembly to shorten, and the distance between the two clamping plates to decrease, making it easier for the clamping plates to move from the electric steam assembly or the electric heating drying assembly to the connecting assembly.
[0020] Preferably, the locking mechanism includes a lifting frame fixed on the clamping plate, the lifting frame is provided with a pressing and locking mechanism, the pressing and locking mechanism is provided with a pressure plate, the upper end of the pressure plate is rotatably connected to a pull rod, and the upper end of the pull rod is rotatably connected to the lower end of the clamping member.
[0021] Furthermore, the lifting frame can control the lifting of the pressure plate and the sliding plate. When the second bidirectional telescopic component rises under the action of the pusher, it can cause the second bidirectional telescopic component and the clamping fastener to collide and push the clamping fastener to rotate. The rotation of the clamping fastener can push the pull rod to apply pressure to the pressure plate so that it can descend. This can enable the pressing and locking mechanism to operate. That is, the first press completes the locking and the second press completes the unlocking. This facilitates the control of the relationship between the clamping fastener, the clamping plate and the support frame assembly, so as to control whether the support frame assembly drives the support screen plate assembly to move. In the locked state, the upper and lower ends of the support frame assembly abut against the opposite sides of the clamping fastener and the clamping plate, respectively. At the same time, a tapered part is added to the lower end of the clamping fastener and the support frame assembly that abuts against each other, which can fully achieve the locking. When separating, the tapered part can facilitate the separation of the clamping fastener and the support frame assembly.
[0022] Preferably, the pressing and locking mechanism includes a sliding plate fixed to the lower end of the pressure plate, a downward trapezoidal plate fixed to the lower end of the sliding plate, a sliding trapezoidal plate slidably mounted on the sliding plate, and elastic abutment components penetrating both sides of the lifting frame. One end of each elastic abutment component extends into the lifting frame, and the ends of the two elastic abutment components extending into the lifting frame are respectively located on both sides of the lower end of the downward trapezoidal plate.
[0023] Furthermore, the elastic abutment component consists of a conical block and a spring component. The conical end of the conical block passes through the lifting frame and extends into the lifting frame. At the same time, both ends of the spring are fixedly connected to the end of the elastic abutment component located on the outside of the lifting frame and the outside of the lifting frame, respectively. The ends of the pressing trapezoidal plate and the sliding trapezoidal plate that abut against each other are both conical surfaces. This facilitates the pressing trapezoidal plate and the sliding trapezoidal plate to apply pressure to the conical block in the elastic abutment component, so that the conical block in the elastic abutment component can move. When the downward trapezoidal plate descends, it squeezes the elastic abutment component, causing the conical block inside the elastic abutment component to move away from the sliding plate. The spring is stretched. When the conical block inside the elastic abutment component contacts the sliding trapezoidal plate, it can separate the sliding trapezoidal plate from the downward trapezoidal plate. At the same time, under the action of the spring, the elastic abutment component moves towards the sliding plate. The horizontal surface at the lower end of the conical block contacts the upper end of the downward trapezoidal plate, which can limit the position of the downward trapezoidal plate. At the same time, limiting components are set on the skateboard to limit the distance between the sliding trapezoidal plate and the pressing trapezoidal plate; Meanwhile, the horizontal ends of the clamping fastener and the clamping plate are bent at the opposite positions. This position can adopt a conical surface structure to facilitate the rotation of the clamping fastener after it comes into contact with the support frame assembly. Alternatively, a spring component can be added between the clamping fastener and the clamping plate. When the trapezoidal plate is pressed down and the elastic abutment component is separated, the spring component can drive the clamping fastener to rotate so that the clamping fastener no longer jams the support frame component.
[0024] Preferably, the lower end of the sliding trapezoidal plate has a larger specification than the upper end of the pressing trapezoidal plate.
[0025] Furthermore, by making the lower end of the sliding trapezoidal plate larger than the upper end of the pressing trapezoidal plate, when the pressure plate and sliding plate push the pressing trapezoidal plate downward, the two sides of the lower end of the pressing trapezoidal plate will respectively abut against two elastic abutment components, causing the two elastic abutment components to separate. As the pressing trapezoidal plate descends, the two sides of the lower end of the sliding trapezoidal plate will respectively abut against two elastic abutment components. At this time, the pressing trapezoidal plate will continue to descend, but the elastic abutment components will move towards the sliding plate to lock the position of the pressing trapezoidal plate. This can control the position of the clamping fastener. Through the cooperation of the clamping fastener and the clamping plate, the bearing frame assembly can be clamped, which facilitates the movement of the bearing screen plate assembly. When the pressure plate and slide plate are lowered again, the range of movement of the sliding trapezoidal plate is limited, causing the sliding trapezoidal plate and the elastic abutment components to abut against each other. The two elastic abutment components are inclined on opposite sides. This way, the elastic abutment components move away from the slide plate under the pressure of the downward trapezoidal plate and the sliding trapezoidal plate, causing the two elastic abutment components to move and abut against the upper sides of the sliding trapezoidal plate. At this time, when the clamping plate retracts, the front end of the clamping fastener will abut against the support frame assembly. At the same time, the inner side of the front end of the clamping fastener is set into a cone shape to facilitate the separation of the clamping fastener and the clamping plate. A spring component is fixed between the clamping fastener and the clamping plate. With the setting of the spring component, when the elastic contact component separates from the sliding trapezoidal plate and the pressing trapezoidal plate, it can push the clamping fastener to flip so that the clamping fastener no longer clamps the support frame assembly, which facilitates the separation of the clamping plate and the support frame assembly and can leave the support screen plate assembly in the corresponding electric steam assembly or electric heating drying assembly.
[0026] A processing technique for preparing Polygonatum sibiricum using a nine-steaming and nine-drying method, applicable to the aforementioned equipment for this method, includes the following steps: S1. Raw material cleaning: Obtain the raw material of Polygonatum, remove impurities from it, and then wash it clean. S2. Raw material soaking: Place the washed Polygonatum into the tank and pour in clean water until it completely covers the raw material. Soak for 18-30 hours. S3. Stewing method preparation: Take out the medicinal materials and drain them. Place the Polygonatum into the stewing pot, filling each pot 2 / 3 full. Add warm water at 40-60℃ until the medicinal materials are submerged. Cover the pot and transfer it to the electric heating mantle. Control the electric heating mantle to adjust the temperature and complete the stewing of Polygonatum. S4. Processing of Polygonatum: Take out the stewed Polygonatum and place it on the bearing sieve plate assembly. The operator can open the sealing component on one side of the electric steam assembly so that the bearing sieve plate assembly and the bearing plate inside the electric steam assembly come into contact. Then close the sealing component so that the electric steam assembly can operate and carry out the steaming operation. S5. Steaming and Drying Cycle Processing: After the electric steam assembly completes steaming, the electric lifting assembly lowers the sealing plate, opening the opposite side of the electric steam assembly and the electric drying assembly. The hydraulic cylinder assembly drives the extrusion plate, causing the linkage plate to lower the sliding assembly. The sliding assembly contacts the push plate at the lower end, causing the push plate to rotate the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft and gear rotate synchronously, pushing the rack upwards. The rising rack causes the inclined push rod to push the first bidirectional telescopic assembly, causing the first bidirectional telescopic assembly to insert the two clamping plates into the electric steam assembly and the electric drying assembly respectively. As the rack rises, it contacts the pusher and pushes the pusher upwards. The pusher then drives the second bidirectional telescopic assembly... As the telescopic assembly rises, the second bidirectional telescopic assembly and the clamping fastener come into contact, causing the clamping fastener to rotate towards the clamping plate. Simultaneously, the clamping plate comes into contact with the corresponding support frame assembly. The clamping fastener pushes the pull rod assembly downward, causing the pressure plate assembly and the sliding plate assembly to drive the downward-pressing trapezoidal plate downward. The downward-pressing trapezoidal plate causes the two elastic contacting assemblies to come into contact, causing the elastic contacting assemblies to contact the sliding trapezoidal plate and separate the sliding trapezoidal plate and the downward-pressing trapezoidal plate. The elastic contacting assemblies are inserted between the sliding trapezoidal plate and the downward-pressing trapezoidal plate, which can initially achieve the fixation of the clamping fastener. The clamping fastener and the clamping plate assembly on the same side can clamp the support frame assembly located on that side. At this time, the hydraulic cylinder assembly resets, causing the first bidirectional telescopic assembly to retract, allowing the support screen plate assembly to enter the connecting assembly. The piston rod of the contact plate drives the connecting plate to descend, causing the lead screw nut to rotate the lead screw component. This causes the support column to rotate the first bidirectional telescopic assembly, the second bidirectional telescopic assembly, and the clamping plate component, allowing the carrying screen plate assembly to rotate to the position of the electrothermal drying assembly. Simultaneously, the hydraulic cylinder assembly retracts, facilitating the extension of the first and second bidirectional telescopic assemblies. This allows the carrying screen plate assembly to enter the electrothermal drying assembly and come into contact with the carrying plate inside. At the same time, the pushing component is again abutted by the rack and pinion, causing the second bidirectional telescopic assembly to rotate the clamping fastener, causing the sliding trapezoidal plate and the elastic contact assembly to come into contact and... The elastic contact component applies pressure to move the sliding trapezoidal plate to the lower end of the elastic contact component. At this time, the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder component can be controlled to rise to complete the retraction of the first bidirectional telescopic component. The clamping fastener and the support frame component abut against each other. The support frame component applies pressure to the clamping fastener, causing the clamping fastener to flip upward. The elastic contact component applies pressure to both sides of the upper end of the sliding trapezoidal plate to complete the separation. The support screen plate component remains in the electric heating drying component. At the same time, opening the sealing component on one side of the electric steam component allows the new support screen plate component to be placed into the electric steam component to start the nine-steaming and nine-drying operation. S6. Continuous processing: After the Polygonatum on a carrier sieve plate assembly completes the final drying in the nine-steaming and nine-drying process in the electric heating drying assembly, the carrier sieve plate assembly inside is removed through the sealing component on the electric heating drying assembly and replaced with a new carrier sieve plate assembly. Then, the sealing plate is opened to allow the carrier sieve plate assembly in the electric steam assembly and the electric heating drying assembly to be replaced, and the processing of Polygonatum continues.
[0027] The beneficial effects of this invention are: 1. The electric steam assembly and electric heating drying assembly facilitate steaming and drying operations, and the connecting assembly ensures that the steaming and drying operations are not affected by external factors; at the same time, the enclosed assembly facilitates the loading and unloading of the sieve plate assembly. 2. Through the ingenious combination of components, the automatic cycle operation of the steaming and drying process can be realized, improving work efficiency; 3. Through the cooperation of sealing plates and sealing components, a sealed evaporation and drying operation can be achieved. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.
[0030] Reference Figure 1 — Figure 8 A processing device for Polygonatum sibiricum using a nine-steaming and nine-drying method includes a connecting component 3. At both ends of the connecting component 3 are an electric steam component 1 and an electric heating drying component 2, respectively. Both the electric steam component 1 and the electric heating drying component 2 are equipped with enclosed loading and unloading mechanisms. The electric steam component 1 performs steaming operations on Polygonatum sibiricum, and the electric heating drying component 2 performs electric heating drying operations. Both the electric steam component 1 and the electric heating drying component 2 utilize existing components and are equipped with corresponding control components for operator convenience. Safety components are also added to ensure safe operation when the electric steam component 1 and the electric heating drying component 2 are in a sealed state. For example, a dehumidification component is installed in the electric heating drying component 2 to release moisture generated during drying, and an exhaust component is installed in the electric steam component 1. Additionally, components such as a sterilization lamp can be installed in the connecting component 3 to ensure processing safety.
[0031] In this embodiment, the connecting assembly 3 includes a lifting power mechanism, which is equipped with a sliding sleeve 30 and a lead screw nut 11. The lifting power mechanism enables the sliding sleeve 30 and the lead screw nut 11 to operate, thereby controlling the distance of the clamping plate 40 and the rotation of the lead screw 12. The lead screw 12 is rotatably sleeved at the bottom of the connecting assembly 3, and the lead screw nut 11 is threaded onto the lead screw 12. The lifting and lowering of the lead screw nut 11 enables the rotation of the lead screw 12. A support column 29 is fixed to the upper end of the lead screw 12. The support column 29 contains a flipping linkage mechanism, which includes a first bidirectional telescopic component 5 and a second bidirectional telescopic component 8. The flipping linkage mechanism enables the operation of both the first bidirectional telescopic component 5 and the second bidirectional telescopic component 8. The first bidirectional telescopic component 5 is fixed to the upper end of the support column 29. Both ends of the first bidirectional telescopic component 5 are fixed with clamping plates 40. Clamping members 20 are rotatably connected to the clamping plates 40. Both ends of the second bidirectional telescopic component 8 abut against the two clamping members 20 respectively. The lifting and lowering of the second bidirectional telescopic component 8 can make the clamping members 20 rotate, which facilitates the clamping of the support frame assembly 14 with the clamping plates 40. The clamping members 20 are connected with locking mechanisms. The two locking mechanisms are connected to the two clamping plates 40 respectively. With the cooperation of the locking mechanisms, a single press can be used to clamp, and a second press can be used to separate, which facilitates the purpose of picking up and putting down the support screen plate assembly 13.
[0032] In this embodiment, a support frame assembly 14 is provided between the clamping plate 40 and the clamping member 20. A support screen plate assembly 13 is installed on the support frame assembly 14. The two support screen plate assemblies 13 are respectively arranged in the electric steam assembly 1 and the electric heating drying assembly 2. The support frame assembly 14 consists of two rods fixed to the support screen plate assembly 13 and a plate fixed between the rods. The plate is located between the clamping plate 40 and the clamping member 20, which facilitates the movement of the support screen plate assembly 13 by clamping the plate.
[0033] In this embodiment, the enclosed loading and unloading mechanism includes two enclosed components 4 disposed on both sides of the electric steam component 1 and the electric heating drying component 2.
[0034] Both the electric steam assembly 1 and the electric drying assembly 2 have sealing plates 38 extending through their respective sides, and both have connection ports 39 on their respective sides. An electric lifting assembly 41 is fixed to the bottom of the connecting assembly 3, with its two ends passing through the two connection ports 39 and fixedly connected to the two sealing plates 38. The electric steam assembly 1 uses an electric steam generator, allowing for easy control of steam generation by operators. It can steam the prepared Polygonatum rhizome on the sieve plate assembly 13 within the electric steam assembly 1. Its component setup and operating principle are existing technologies. The electric drying assembly 2 uses an electric drying generator to dry the steamed Polygonatum rhizome. Its component setup and operating principle are also existing technologies. Furthermore, to ensure safety during use, appropriate safety components are added according to actual conditions.
[0035] Meanwhile, a sealing component 4 is installed on the outside of the electric steam component 1 and the electric heating drying component 2. The sealing component 4 can be opened and closed, and is equipped with corresponding heat insulation components. It can also be equipped with corresponding observation components as needed. It can be opened as needed, and after being closed, it can ensure the operation of the electric steam component 1 and the electric heating drying component 2.
[0036] Openings are made on opposite sides of the electric steam assembly 1 and the electric heating drying assembly 2. The lifting and lowering of the sealing plate 38 can be controlled by the electric lifting assembly 41 in the connecting assembly 3. The lifting and lowering of the sealing plate 38 facilitates the extension of the corresponding components in the connecting assembly 3 into the corresponding electric steam assembly 1 and the electric heating drying assembly 2. The carrying screen plate assembly 13 in the electric steam assembly 1 and the electric heating drying assembly 2 is then removed and alternated to carry out the nine-steaming and nine-drying process.
[0037] In actual production and manufacturing, the connecting component 3 can also adopt a circular structure, which can better fit the situation when the component rotates; at the same time, the automated components in this application are all existing technology components, and the required components, component and power supply connection schemes, and component control schemes are all existing technologies, or adaptive modifications made according to the equipment specifications and shape under existing technologies; at the same time, the connecting component 3 is provided with a corresponding openable door panel structure, which can be opened and closed as needed, facilitating maintenance operations.
[0038] In this embodiment, both the electric steam assembly 1 and the electric heating drying assembly 2 are equipped with a support plate 37, and two support screen plate assemblies 13 are respectively inserted into the two support plates 37. The side of the support plate 37 near the sealing plate 38 is set with an inclined triangular structure, which can effectively correspond to the edge of the support screen plate assembly 13. The support screen plate assembly 13 can adopt a tray-like structure, with edges on both sides so as to abut against the upper end of the support plate 37 for effective support. At the same time, the lower end of the support screen plate assembly 13 is set as a filter screen structure, and a partition structure is set at the bottom to catch dripping water droplets, etc.
[0039] In this embodiment, the lifting power mechanism includes a hydraulic cylinder assembly 33 fixed in the connecting assembly 3. A linkage plate 34 is slidably sleeved on the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder assembly 33. A pressing plate 32 is fixed to the end of the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder assembly 33. A vertical rod 27 is slidably sleeved on both the pressing plate 32 and the linkage plate 34. An elastic member 28 is sleeved on the vertical rod 27. The two ends of the elastic member 28 are respectively fixed to the opposite side of the pressing plate 32 and the linkage plate 34. A connecting plate 31 is fixed to the lower end of the vertical rod 27.
[0040] A bracket 36 is fixed at the bottom of the connecting assembly 3, and an abutment plate 35 is fixed at the upper end of the bracket 36. The piston rod end of the abutment plate 35 is fixed at the lower end of the connecting plate 31.
[0041] The sliding assembly 30 and the linkage plate 34 are fixedly connected, and the lead screw nut 11 is rotatably sleeved on one side of the connecting plate 31.
[0042] The hydraulic cylinder assembly 33 can raise and lower the piston rod under the operation of an operator to provide power.
[0043] During initial operation, the worker places the stewed Polygonatum sibiricum into the electric steam assembly 1 through the sealing component 4 for steaming. After steaming, the sealing plate 38 on the opposite side of the electric steam assembly 1 and the electric heating drying assembly 2 can be lowered to allow the components inside the connecting assembly 3 to operate, completing the transfer operation of the carrying sieve plate assembly 13.
[0044] During operation, the components within the connecting assembly 3 need to extend the first bidirectional telescopic assembly 5, engage the clamping plate 40 and clamping fastener 20 to grasp and retract the first bidirectional telescopic assembly 5 under the power provided by the power component. After the rack 15 drives the first bidirectional telescopic assembly 5 and the clamping plate 40 to rotate and switch sides, the first bidirectional telescopic assembly 5 is extended, the carrying screen plate assembly 13 switches sides and enters, the clamping plate 40 and clamping fastener 20 are released, and the first bidirectional telescopic assembly 5 retracts back into the connecting assembly 3. At the same time, the lead screw 12 returns to its initial state for the next operation. The sealing plate 38 then seals the corresponding electric steam assembly 1 and electric heating drying assembly 2 for operation.
[0045] The hydraulic cylinder assembly 33 can drive the extrusion plate 32 to apply pressure to the elastic member 28, and the elastic member 28 can apply pressure to the linkage plate 34, so that the sliding member 30 can descend and abut against the push plate member 18 located at the lower end. The push plate member 18 located at the lower end rotates downward, which can provide power for the extension of the first bidirectional telescopic assembly 5. When the hydraulic cylinder assembly 33 drives the extrusion plate 32 to rise, the elastic member 28 drives the linkage plate 34 and the sliding member 30 to rise, and abut against the push plate member 18 located at the upper end to make it rotate, it can provide power for the retraction of the first bidirectional telescopic assembly 5.
[0046] Meanwhile, the sliding component 30 adopts a circular structure, which can ensure that it fully contacts the push plate 18 when the support column 29 rotates, so as to ensure the stability of the position of the push plate 18.
[0047] When the elastic element 28 is compressed or stretched, the vertical rod 27 can prevent the elastic element 28 from deviating from its movement.
[0048] Meanwhile, after the hydraulic cylinder assembly 33 has finished moving, it can control the piston rod of the contact plate 35 to extend and retract, so as to drive the vertical rod 27 to rise and fall through the connecting plate 31. The vertical rod 27 is slidably installed on the extrusion plate 32 and the linkage plate 34, and its rise and fall are not affected. At the same time, when the connecting plate 31 drives the lead screw nut 11 to rise and fall, it causes the lead screw 12 to drive the support column 29 to rotate, so as to drive the first bidirectional telescopic assembly 5 to rotate through the support column 29. The rise and fall of the lead screw nut 11 can control the lead screw 12 to rotate between 0 and 180 degrees.
[0049] In this embodiment, the flipping linkage mechanism includes a through-hole 9 opened on the support column 29. A rotating shaft 17 is rotatably sleeved in the through-hole 9. Two push plate members 18 are fixed on one side of the rotating shaft 17. Both push plate members 18 pass through the through-hole 9 and extend to one side of the support column 29. A sliding part 30 is located between the two push plate members 18. A gear member 16 is fixed on the rotating shaft 17. Both push plate members 18 are located on one side of the gear member 16. A rack 15 is slidably installed on the side of the support column 29 away from the push plate members 18. The rack 15 and the gear member 16 mesh with each other.
[0050] The upper end of the support column 29 is provided with a connecting groove 10, and the pusher 7 is disposed through the connecting groove 10 and the first bidirectional telescopic assembly 5. The pusher 7 is disposed at the upper end of the straight rack 15, and the upper end of the pusher 7 is fixedly connected to the second bidirectional telescopic assembly 8.
[0051] The rack 15 is provided with a separation mechanism, which is connected to the first bidirectional telescopic assembly 5; the lifting and lowering of the sliding assembly 30 causes it to abut against the two push plate members 18 on the rotating shaft member 17; After contacting the push plate 18 located at the upper end, it can continue to rise so that the rotating shaft 17 drives the gear 16 to rotate, and at this time the gear 16 drives the rack 15 to descend.
[0052] After contacting the push plate 18 located at the upper end, it continues to descend, causing the rotating shaft 17 to drive the gear 16 to rotate. At this time, the gear 16 drives the spur rack 15 to rise.
[0053] The rack 15 is disposed inside the through opening 9, that is, the rack 15 is located inside the sliding assembly 30, and their movements do not affect each other.
[0054] When the rack 15 rises, it can come into contact with the lower end of the pusher 7 so as to push the pusher 7 to rise.
[0055] Meanwhile, both the first bidirectional telescopic assembly 5 and the second bidirectional telescopic assembly 8 are composed of a central rod and two tubes sleeved at both ends of the rod. The central rod of the first bidirectional telescopic assembly 5 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support column 29, and the central rod of the second bidirectional telescopic assembly 8 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the pusher 7. The upper end of the pusher 7 passes through the connecting groove 10 and extends to the upper end of the first bidirectional telescopic assembly 5.
[0056] The two pipes at both ends of the first bidirectional telescopic component 5 are fixedly connected to the two clamping plates 40, which can ensure the stability of the position of the clamping plates 40 and facilitate movement under the action of the pipes at both ends of the first bidirectional telescopic component 5. The two pipes at both ends of the second bidirectional telescopic component 8 are slidably installed on the two clamping plates 40. When the clamping plates 40 move under the action of the first bidirectional telescopic component 5, they can drive the two pipes at both ends of the second bidirectional telescopic component 8 to move. At the same time, under the action of the pusher 7, the rod and the two pipes in the second bidirectional telescopic component 8 are raised and lowered relative to the clamping plates 40.
[0057] The distance between the two clamping plates 40 is controlled by the operation of the separation mechanism.
[0058] In this embodiment, the separation mechanism includes two inclined push rods 6 rotatably connected to the upper end of the rack 15. The upper ends of the two inclined push rods 6 are respectively rotatably connected to the two ends of the first bidirectional telescopic assembly 5. When the rack 15 is raised or lowered, the angle between the two inclined push rods 6 changes. When the angle between the two inclined push rods 6 changes, the distance between the two pipes at both ends of the first bidirectional telescopic assembly 5 can be controlled to change.
[0059] It should be noted that the two tubes at both ends of the first bidirectional telescopic component 5 can only operate in the same plane and cannot be raised or lowered.
[0060] When the rack 15 rises, the angle between the two inclined push rods 6 on the rack 15 increases, causing the two inclined push rods 6 to gradually move in a direction parallel to the first bidirectional telescopic assembly 5. The two inclined push rods 6 can push the two pipes at both ends of the first bidirectional telescopic assembly 5 to operate, so that the distance between the two pipes gradually increases. This can control the clamping plate 40 on the first bidirectional telescopic assembly 5 to insert into the electric steam assembly 1 or electric heating drying assembly 2 on one side.
[0061] When the rack 15 descends, it drives the inclined push rod 6 to move. The angle between the two inclined push rods 6 gradually decreases, and the rack moves in a direction perpendicular to the first bidirectional telescopic assembly 5. This causes the distance between the two pipes in the first bidirectional telescopic assembly 5 to shorten, and the distance between the two clamping plates 40 to decrease, making it easier for the clamping plates 40 to move from the electric steam assembly 1 or the electric heating drying assembly 2 into the connecting assembly 3.
[0062] In this embodiment, the locking mechanism includes a lifting frame 25 fixed on the clamping plate 40. The lifting frame 25 is provided with a pressing and locking mechanism. The pressing and locking mechanism is provided with a pressure plate 21. The upper end of the pressure plate 21 is rotatably connected to a pull rod 19. The upper end of the pull rod 19 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the clamping member 20. The lifting frame 25 can control the lifting and lowering of the pressure plate 21 and the sliding plate 22. That is, when the second bidirectional telescopic component 8 rises under the action of the pusher 7, it can cause the second bidirectional telescopic component 8 and the clamping member 20 to abut and push the clamping member 20 to rotate. The rotation of the clamping member 20 can push the pull rod 19 to apply pressure to the pressure plate 21 so that it descends. This allows the pressing and locking mechanism to operate. That is, the first press completes the locking, and the second press completes the unlocking. This facilitates the control of the relationship between the clamping member 20, the clamping plate 40 and the support frame assembly 14, so as to control whether the support frame assembly 14 drives the support screen plate assembly 13 to move.
[0063] In the locked state, the upper and lower ends of the support frame assembly 14 abut against the opposite sides of the clamping member 20 and the clamping plate 40, respectively. At the same time, a tapered part is added to the lower end of the clamping member 20 and the support frame assembly 14 that abut against each other, which can fully achieve the locking. When separating, the tapered part can facilitate the separation of the clamping member 20 and the support frame assembly 14.
[0064] In this embodiment, the pressing and locking mechanism includes a sliding plate 22 fixed to the lower end of the pressure plate 21. A downward trapezoidal plate 26 is fixed to the lower end of the sliding plate 22. A sliding trapezoidal plate 23 is slidably mounted on the sliding plate 22. Elastic abutment components 24 are provided through both sides of the lifting frame 25. One end of each elastic abutment component 24 extends into the lifting frame 25. The ends of the two elastic abutment components 24 extending into the lifting frame 25 are respectively located on both sides of the lower end of the downward trapezoidal plate 26. The elastic abutment components 24 are conical. The device consists of a block and a spring component. The tapered end of the tapered block passes through the lifting frame 25 and extends into the lifting frame 25. At the same time, both ends of the spring are fixedly connected to the end of the elastic abutment component 24 located on the outside of the lifting frame 25 and the outside of the lifting frame 25, respectively. The ends of the pressing trapezoidal plate 26 and the sliding trapezoidal plate 23 that abut against each other are both tapered surfaces. This facilitates the pressing trapezoidal plate 26 and the sliding trapezoidal plate 23 to apply pressure to the tapered block in the elastic abutment component 24, so that the tapered block in the elastic abutment component 24 can move. When the downward trapezoidal plate 26 descends, it will squeeze the elastic abutment component 24, causing the conical block inside the elastic abutment component 24 to move away from the sliding plate component 22. The spring will be stretched. When the conical block inside the elastic abutment component 24 abuts against the sliding trapezoidal plate 23, it can separate the sliding trapezoidal plate 23 from the downward trapezoidal plate 26. At the same time, under the action of the spring, the elastic abutment component 24 moves towards the sliding plate component 22. The horizontal surface of the lower end of the conical block abuts against the upper end of the downward trapezoidal plate 26, which can limit the position of the downward trapezoidal plate 26. Meanwhile, a limiting component is provided on the sliding plate 22 to limit the distance between the sliding trapezoidal plate 23 and the pressing trapezoidal plate 26. Meanwhile, the clamping fastener 20 and the clamping plate 40 are bent at their horizontal ends, and this position can adopt a conical surface structure to facilitate the rotation of the clamping fastener 20 after it comes into contact with the support frame assembly 14. Alternatively, a spring component can be added between the clamping fastener 20 and the clamping plate 40. When the trapezoidal plate 26 is pressed down and the elastic abutment component 24 is separated, the spring component can drive the clamping fastener 20 to rotate so that the clamping fastener 20 no longer jams the support frame component 14.
[0065] In this embodiment, the lower end of the sliding trapezoidal plate 23 is larger than the upper end of the pressing trapezoidal plate 26. Because the lower end of the sliding trapezoidal plate 23 is larger than the upper end of the pressing trapezoidal plate 26, when the pressure plate 21 and the sliding plate 22 push the pressing trapezoidal plate 26 down, the two sides of the lower end of the pressing trapezoidal plate 26 will respectively abut against the two elastic abutment components 24, causing the two elastic abutment components 24 to separate. As the pressing trapezoidal plate 26 descends, the two sides of the lower end of the sliding trapezoidal plate 23 will respectively abut against the two elastic abutment components 24. At this time, the pressing trapezoidal plate 26 will continue to descend, but the elastic abutment components 24 will move towards the sliding plate 22 to lock the position of the pressing trapezoidal plate 26. This can control the position of the clamping member 20. Through the cooperation of the clamping member 20 and the clamping plate 40, the support frame assembly 14 can be clamped, which facilitates the movement of the support screen plate assembly 13.
[0066] When the pressure plate 21 and the sliding plate 22 are lowered again, the range of movement of the sliding trapezoidal plate 23 is limited, causing the sliding trapezoidal plate 23 and the elastic abutment component 24 to abut. The two elastic abutment components 24 are inclined on opposite sides. In this way, the elastic abutment components 24 move away from the sliding plate 22 under the pressure of the downward trapezoidal plate 26 and the sliding trapezoidal plate 23, causing the two elastic abutment components 24 to move and abut against the upper sides of the sliding trapezoidal plate 23. At this time, when the clamping plate 40 retracts, the front end of the clamping fastener 20 will abut against the support frame assembly 14. At the same time, the inner side of the front end of the clamping fastener 20 is set into a cone shape to facilitate the separation of the clamping fastener 20 and the clamping plate 40.
[0067] A spring component is fixed between the clamping member 20 and the clamping plate 40. With the setting of the spring component, when the elastic contact component 24 separates from the sliding trapezoidal plate 23 and the pressing trapezoidal plate 26, it can push the clamping member 20 to flip so that the clamping member 20 no longer clamps the support frame assembly 14, which facilitates the separation of the clamping plate 40 and the support frame assembly 14, and can leave the support screen plate assembly 13 in the corresponding electric steam assembly 1 or electric heating drying assembly 2.
[0068] A processing technique for preparing Polygonatum sibiricum using a nine-steaming and nine-drying method, applicable to the aforementioned equipment for this method, includes the following steps: S1. Raw material cleaning: Obtain the raw material of Polygonatum, remove impurities from it, and then wash it clean. S2. Raw material soaking: Place the washed Polygonatum into the tank and pour in clean water until it completely covers the raw material. Soak for 18-30 hours. S3. Stewing method preparation: Take out the medicinal materials and drain them. Place the Polygonatum into the stewing pot, filling each pot 2 / 3 full. Add warm water at 40-60℃ until the medicinal materials are submerged. Cover the pot and transfer it to the electric heating mantle. Control the electric heating mantle to adjust the temperature and complete the stewing of Polygonatum. S4. Processing of Polygonatum: Take out the stewed Polygonatum and place it on the bearing sieve plate assembly 13. The operator can open the sealing component 4 on one side of the electric steam assembly 1 so that the bearing sieve plate assembly 13 and the bearing plate 37 inside the electric steam assembly 1 come into contact, and close the sealing component 4 so that the electric steam assembly 1 can operate and carry out the steaming operation. S5. Steaming and Drying Cycle Processing: After the electric steam assembly 1 has finished steaming, the electric lifting assembly 41 can drive the sealing plate 38 to descend, so that the opposite side of the electric steam assembly 1 and the electric heating drying assembly 2 opens. The hydraulic cylinder assembly 33 can drive the extrusion plate 32, so that the linkage plate 34 can drive the sliding assembly 30 to descend. The sliding assembly 30 can abut against the push plate 18 located at the lower end, so that the push plate 18 drives the rotating shaft 17 to rotate. The rotating shaft 17 and the gear 16 rotate synchronously. The gear 16 can push the rack 15 to rise. The rise of the rack 15 causes the inclined push rod 6 to push the first bidirectional telescopic assembly 5, so that the first bidirectional telescopic assembly 5 drives the two clamping plates 40 to be inserted into the electric steam assembly 1 and the electric heating drying assembly 2 respectively. As the rack 15 rises, it comes into contact with the pusher 7 and pushes the pusher 7 to rise. The pusher 7 then drives the second bidirectional telescopic assembly 8 to rise. The second bidirectional telescopic assembly 8 comes into contact with the clamp 20, causing the clamp 20 to rotate toward the clamping plate 40. At the same time, the clamping plate 40 comes into contact with the corresponding support frame assembly 14. The clamp 20 pushes the pull rod 19 to fall, causing the pressure plate 21 and the sliding plate 22 to drive the downward trapezoidal plate 26 to fall. The downward trapezoidal plate 26 causes the two elastic contacting components 24 to come into contact, causing the elastic contacting components 24 to come into contact with the sliding trapezoidal plate 23 and separate the sliding trapezoidal plate 23 and the downward trapezoidal plate 26. The elastic contacting components 24 are inserted between the sliding trapezoidal plate 23 and the downward trapezoidal plate 26, which can initially achieve the fixation of the clamp 20. The clamping fastener 20 and the clamping plate 40 on the same side can clamp the support frame assembly 14 located on that side; at this time, the hydraulic cylinder assembly 33 is reset, causing the first bidirectional telescopic assembly 5 to retract, so that the support screen plate assembly 13 enters the connecting assembly 3.
[0069] The piston rod of the contact plate 35 drives the connecting plate 31 to descend, causing the lead screw nut 11 to drive the lead screw component 12 to rotate. This causes the support column 29 to drive the first bidirectional telescopic assembly 5, the second bidirectional telescopic assembly 8, and the clamping plate component 40 to rotate, causing the carrying screen plate assembly 13 to rotate to the electric heating drying assembly 2. At the same time, the hydraulic cylinder assembly 33 retracts, facilitating the extension of the first bidirectional telescopic assembly 5 and the second bidirectional telescopic assembly 8. This allows the carrying screen plate assembly 13 to enter the electric heating drying assembly 2 and abut against the carrying plate 37 inside the electric heating drying assembly 2. Simultaneously, the pushing component 7 is again abutted by the straight rack 15, causing the second bidirectional telescopic assembly 8 to drive the clamping component 20 to flip. This causes the sliding trapezoidal plate 23 to abut against the elastic contact component 24 and apply pressure to the elastic contact component 24, so that the sliding trapezoidal plate 23 moves to the lower end of the elastic contact component 24. At this time, the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder assembly 33 can be controlled to rise, so as to complete the retraction of the first bidirectional telescopic assembly 5. The clamp 20 and the support frame assembly 14 abut against each other, and the support frame assembly 14 applies pressure to the clamp 20, causing the clamp 20 to flip upward. The elastic contact assembly 24 applies pressure to both sides of the upper end of the sliding trapezoidal plate 23 to complete the separation. The support screen plate assembly 13 remains in the electric heating drying assembly 2. At the same time, opening the sealing assembly 4 on one side of the electric steam assembly 1 allows a new support screen plate assembly 13 to be placed into the electric steam assembly 1 so that the nine-steaming and nine-drying operation can begin.
[0070] S6. Continuous processing: After the Polygonatum on a carrier sieve assembly 13 has completed the last drying in the nine-steaming and nine-drying process in the electric heating drying assembly 2, the carrier sieve assembly 13 inside is taken out by the sealing assembly 4 on the electric heating drying assembly 2 and replaced with a new carrier sieve assembly 13. Then, the sealing plate 38 is opened to allow the carrier sieve assembly 13 in the electric steam assembly 1 and the electric heating drying assembly 2 to be replaced, and the processing of Polygonatum continues.
[0071] The above description is only a preferred embodiment 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.

10. A processing method for preparing Polygonatum sibiricum using a nine-steaming and nine-drying method, applicable to the equipment for preparing Polygonatum sibiricum using the nine-steaming and nine-drying method as described in claim 8, characterized in that... Includes the following steps: S1. Raw material cleaning: Obtain the raw material of Polygonatum, remove impurities from it, and then wash it clean. S2. Raw material soaking: Place the washed Polygonatum into the tank and pour in clean water until it completely covers the raw material. Soak for 18-30 hours. S3. Stewing method preparation: Take out the medicinal materials and drain them. Place the Polygonatum into the stewing pot, filling each pot 2 / 3 full. Add warm water at 40-60℃ until the medicinal materials are submerged. Cover the pot and transfer it to the electric heating mantle. Control the electric heating mantle to adjust the temperature and complete the stewing of Polygonatum. S4. Processing of Polygonatum: Take out the cooked Polygonatum and place it on the bearing sieve assembly (13). The operator can open the sealing assembly (4) on one side of the electric steam assembly (1) so that the bearing sieve assembly (13) and the bearing plate (37) inside the electric steam assembly (1) come into contact, and close the sealing assembly (4) so that the electric steam assembly (1) can operate and carry out the steaming operation. S5, Steaming and Drying Cycle Processing: After the electric steam assembly (1) has finished steaming, the electric lifting assembly (41) can drive the sealing plate (38) to descend, so that the opposite side of the electric steam assembly (1) and the electric heating drying assembly (2) opens. The hydraulic cylinder assembly (33) can drive the extrusion plate (32) to drive the linkage plate (34) to drive the sliding assembly (30) to descend. The sliding assembly (30) can abut against the push plate (18) located at the lower end, so that the push plate (18) drives the rotating shaft (17) to rotate. The rotating shaft (17) and The gear component (16) rotates synchronously, and the gear component (16) can push the rack (15) to rise. The rise of the rack (15) causes the inclined push rod (6) to push the first bidirectional telescopic assembly (5), so that the first bidirectional telescopic assembly (5) drives the two clamping plates (40) to be inserted into the electric steam assembly (1) and the electric heating drying assembly (2) respectively. As the rack (15) rises, the rack (15) can come into contact with the pusher (7) and push the pusher (7) to rise. The pusher (7) can drive the second bidirectional telescopic assembly. As component (8) rises, the second bidirectional telescopic component (8) and the clamping fastener (20) abut against each other, causing the clamping fastener (20) to rotate toward the clamping plate component (40). At the same time, the clamping plate component (40) abuts against the corresponding support frame component (14). The clamping fastener (20) pushes the pull rod component (19) to descend, causing the pressure plate component (21) and the sliding plate component (22) to drive the downward trapezoidal plate (26) to descend. The downward trapezoidal plate (26) causes the two elastic abutting components (24) to abut against each other, thus causing the elastic abutting components (24) to abut against the sliding ladder. The sliding trapezoidal plate (23) and the pressing trapezoidal plate (26) are separated. The elastic abutment component (24) is inserted between the sliding trapezoidal plate (23) and the pressing trapezoidal plate (26), which can initially realize the fixing of the clamping fastener (20). The clamping fastener (20) and the clamping plate (40) on the same side can clamp the bearing frame assembly (14) located on that side. At this time, the hydraulic cylinder assembly (33) is reset, causing the first bidirectional telescopic assembly (5) to retract, and causing the bearing screen plate assembly (13) to enter the connecting assembly (3). The piston rod of the contact plate (35) drives the connecting plate (31) to descend, causing the screw nut (11) to drive the screw component (12) to rotate, causing the support column (29) to drive the first bidirectional telescopic assembly (5), the second bidirectional telescopic assembly (8), and the clamping plate component (40) to rotate, causing the bearing screen plate assembly (13) to rotate to the electric heating drying assembly (2). At the same time, the hydraulic cylinder assembly (33) retracts, facilitating the extension of the first bidirectional telescopic assembly (5) and the second bidirectional telescopic assembly (8), allowing the bearing screen plate assembly (13) to enter the electric heating drying assembly (2) and abut against the bearing plate (37) inside the electric heating drying assembly (2). Simultaneously, the pusher (7) is abutted again by the rack (15), causing the second bidirectional telescopic assembly (8) to drive the clamping component (20) to flip, causing the sliding trapezoidal plate (23) and the elastic contact assembly to... (24) Abut and press the elastic abutment component (24) so that the sliding trapezoidal plate (23) moves to the lower end of the elastic abutment component (24). At this time, the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder component (33) can be controlled to rise so as to complete the recycling of the first bidirectional telescopic component (5). The clamp (20) and the support frame component (14) abut. The support frame component (14) presses the clamp (20) so that the clamp (20) flips upward. The elastic abutment component (24) presses the upper sides of the sliding trapezoidal plate (23) to complete the separation. The support screen plate component (13) remains in the electric heating drying component (2). At the same time, opening the sealing component (4) on one side of the electric steam component (1) can place the new support screen plate component (13) into the electric steam component (1) so as to start the nine-steaming and nine-drying operation. S6. Continuous processing: After the Polygonatum on a carrier sieve assembly (13) has completed the last drying in the nine-steaming and nine-drying process in the electric heating drying assembly (2), the carrier sieve assembly (13) inside is taken out by the sealing assembly (4) on the electric heating drying assembly (2) and replaced with a new carrier sieve assembly (13). Then, the sealing plate (38) is opened to replace the carrier sieve assembly (13) in the electric steam assembly (1) and the electric heating drying assembly (2) to continue processing Polygonatum.
