Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of Chinese medicine fermentation, in particular to a Chinese medicine fermentation device. Background Art

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine fermentation refers to the use of microbial life activities to process traditional Chinese medicines, changing the chemical composition and pharmacological effects of traditional Chinese medicines through the metabolism of microorganisms, thereby improving the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicines, reducing toxic side effects in traditional Chinese medicines, and improving the medicinal properties of traditional Chinese medicines. It is a method of fermenting traditional Chinese medicines and microorganisms mainly composed of lactic acid bacteria in the same tank, and extracting traditional Chinese medicines through two processes: lactic acid extraction and temperature extraction. The main technologies of traditional Chinese medicine fermentation are solid-state fermentation and liquid fermentation.

[0003] The microorganisms used in liquid fermentation are generally grown and cultured in a culture medium, which has many advantages over the culture of microorganisms in solid fermentation and is more suitable for large-scale production. When fermenting Chinese medicinal materials, they are generally first crushed and put into a fermentation tank, and then the cultured microorganisms are added to the fermentation tank. Finally, the fermentation tank is closed and the medicinal materials and the microbial community are evenly mixed using a stirring rod. However, between the time the microorganisms are put into the fermentation tank and then stirred, the contact time between the microorganisms and the contacted part of the Chinese medicinal materials is too long, which will cause the fermentation time of this part of the medicinal materials to be longer than that of other Chinese medicinal materials that have not been in contact with the microorganisms. After fermentation, there will be medicinal materials with different fermentation degrees in the Chinese medicinal materials, especially for microorganisms with a shorter reaction time, which will have a greater impact on the uniform fermentation of the Chinese medicinal materials.

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model clearer, the technical solution of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the specific embodiments of the utility model and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0024] The technical solutions provided by various embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0025] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the embodiment of the utility model provides a Chinese medicine fermentation device, including a tank body 1 for placing Chinese medicinal materials, a stirring member 2 with a cavity 3 is rotatably connected inside the tank body 1, a plurality of nozzles 4 connected to the cavity 3 are arranged on the stirring member 2, the top of the stirring member 2 extends to the outside of the tank body 1 and is provided with a pressurizing component 5, and the pressurizing component 5 is used to increase the air pressure inside the cavity 3. When in use, the Chinese medicinal materials to be fermented are placed inside the tank body 1, and then the cultured microorganisms and clean water are poured into the cavity 3 of the stirring member 2, and then the stirring member 2 is used to stir the mixture. Component 2 is used to stir the Chinese medicinal materials, and during the stirring process, a pressure-applying component 5 is used to apply pressure to the cavity 3. After being subjected to pressure, the liquid containing microorganisms will flow into the stirred Chinese medicinal materials through a plurality of nozzles 4. In order to prevent the Chinese medicinal materials from entering the cavity 3 through the nozzles 4 and contaminating the cavity 3, a nozzle 4 with unidirectional output can be selected. The nozzle 4 will gradually sprinkle the liquid containing microorganisms on the Chinese medicinal materials. Under the action of the stirring component 2, the Chinese medicinal materials and the liquid can be evenly mixed.

[0026] Among them, the stirring member 2 is composed of a rotating rod 20 and a stirring blade 21 fixedly connected to the rotating rod 20. The cavity 3 is located inside the rotating rod 20, and the end of the cavity 3 located at the top of the rotating rod 20 is open and connected to the outside. The end of the cavity 3 with the opening corresponds to the output end position of the pressurizing component 5, and the liquid containing microorganisms flows into the cavity 3 from the opening. Several nozzles 4 are arranged at appropriate positions between the stirring blades 21. The purpose is to enable the nozzles 4 to accurately transfer the liquid to the stirred Chinese medicinal materials when spraying the liquid.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, one end of the rotating rod 20 extending to the outside of the tank body 1 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 15, and the telescopic rod 50 is mounted on the mounting plate, so that the telescopic rod 50 can maintain a stable state when running on the rotating rod 20.

[0028] Next, the pressurizing assembly 5 includes a telescopic rod 50 disposed on the rotating rod 20 and a piston 51 fixedly connected to the movable end of the telescopic rod 50 . The piston 51 is located directly above the cavity 3 and corresponds to an open end of the cavity 3 .

[0029] One end of the rotating rod 20 extending to the outside of the tank body 1 is connected to the feeding hopper 6, and a groove 7 is provided on the end of the feeding hopper 6 away from the rotating rod 20. A sealing cover 8 and a top plate 10 are respectively provided on the movable end of the telescopic rod 50. The sealing cover 8 is slidably connected to the movable end of the telescopic rod 50, and the function of the top plate 10 is to lift the sealing cover 8. The top plate 10 is located below the sealing cover 8. The size of the top plate 10 is smaller than the size of the piston 51, and a protrusion 9 is provided on the sealing cover 8. The protrusion 9 is movably engaged with the groove 7. Magnets 11 that can be attracted to each other are respectively provided on the protrusion 9 and the groove 7. When the telescopic rod 50 drives the piston 51, the piston 51 is lifted. When extending into the cavity 3, it will also drive the sealing cover 8 to move toward the feeding hopper 6 until the protrusion 9 on the sealing cover 8 is engaged with the groove 7 on the feeding hopper 6, and the sealing cover 8 stops moving. The magnets 11 on the protrusion 9 and the groove 7 make the two more tightly in contact and will not easily collide with the shaking of the tank body 1. The movable end of the telescopic rod 50 still drives the piston 51 to continue moving inside the cavity 3. When the telescopic rod 50 drives the piston 51 to move out of the cavity 3, when the top plate 10 moves to the lower end surface of the sealing cover 8 and contacts the sealing cover 8, the top plate 10 will lift the sealing cover 8 away from the feeding hopper 6.

[0030] Among them, Figure 6As shown, a plurality of sealing rings 52 are sleeved on the piston 51. When the piston 51 moves into the cavity 3, the side wall of the piston 51 is in close contact with the side wall of the cavity 3. The sealing rings 52 on the piston 51 ensure the sealing of the piston 51 when in use. The piston 51 will be subjected to high pressure at this time, and the sealing rings 52 sleeved on the side wall of the piston 51 can protect the piston 51 from excessive pressure damage. At the same time, the sealing rings 52 can reduce the direct contact between the piston 51 and the side wall of the cavity 3, reduce wear, and extend the service life of the piston 51 and the cavity 3.

[0031] Finally, if Figure 2 As shown, a motor 12 is installed on the upper end surface of the tank body 1, and a gear 13 is connected to the output end of the motor 12. A rotating rod 20 is located on the outer side wall of one end outside the tank body 1 and is fixedly connected to a gear 2 14. The gear 13 is meshed with the gear 2 14. The motor 12 drives the gear 1 13 to rotate, and then drives the gear 2 14 meshed with the gear 1 13 to rotate. The gear 2 14 drives the rotating rod 20 fixedly connected thereto to rotate, and finally drives the stirring member 2 to rotate and stir the Chinese medicinal materials.

[0032] The above description is only an embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent substitution, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
