Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of storage devices, in particular to a fresh gastrodia elata storage device. Background Art

[0002] Gastrodia elata is a perennial herbaceous plant that grows in southern China. It belongs to the genus Gastrodia elata in the orchid family. It is a tall plant with a long elliptical or inverted conical rhizome and many dense scaly sheaths. The fleshy stem is yellow without green leaves. The flowers are orange-yellow or light yellow, with sepals and petals fused. The capsule is oblong with a short stalk. The seeds are numerous and small, dust-like, and its underground stems are used as Chinese medicinal materials. In traditional Chinese medicine, Gastrodia elata is widely used to treat symptoms such as headaches, migraines, and rheumatoid arthritis. It is believed to be able to relax muscles and tendons, relieve pain, and dispel wind and dampness, and is often used to prepare various Chinese medicine prescriptions.

[0003] The storage of fresh Gastrodia elata requires attention to many conditions to ensure that its quality and efficacy are maintained. Among them, temperature and humidity have a greater impact on the storage of Gastrodia elata. The storage temperature should be controlled between 10℃-25℃, and the optimal storage temperature is between 15℃-25℃. High temperature will accelerate the volatilization and oxidation of volatile components in Gastrodia elata, reducing its efficacy. Similarly, Gastrodia elata is not resistant to low temperatures and cannot be exposed to cold and humid environments to prevent hardening and deterioration; Gastrodia elata should also be stored in a dry and ventilated environment to avoid moisture and overly humid environments. Excessive humidity will cause Gastrodia elata to become damp and deteriorate, affecting its efficacy and taste, and it is also prone to mold growth.

[0004] Currently, one way to store Gastrodia elata is to put it directly into the refrigerator with the mud on for refrigeration. This method is suitable for short-term and small amounts of Gastrodia elata. Another method is to cook the Gastrodia elata by steaming and then cut it for storage, and there are similar methods. For Gastrodia elata growers, it is generally necessary to ensure the freshness of the Gastrodia elata during storage, and the storage time also needs to be long enough, otherwise it will affect subsequent sales and production. There is currently a lack of relevant storage devices. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a fresh gastrodia elata storage device to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0008] When storing Gastrodia elata, open the door panel, place Gastrodia elata in the placement chamber, close the door panel, then start the heating device in the temperature control box, heat the water in the temperature control box through the heating device, receive the temperature in the placement rack through the controller, and when the temperature in the placement rack reaches the suitable temperature for Gastrodia elata storage, i.e., 15°C-25°C, and maintains for a period of time, control the heating device to maintain the heating output at this time to ensure that the temperature in the placement rack can be stable; then start the motor, the motor speed does not need to be too fast, drive the fan to rotate slowly to form an upward negative pressure, at this time, the air in the placement chamber will flow in the direction of the flow channel under the action of negative pressure, so that the air inside the placement chamber will flow and circulate, preventing excessive humidity from causing Gastrodia elata to mold; Gastrodin in Gastrodia elata is an important active ingredient with multiple pharmacological effects. If Gastrodia elata is too dry during storage, it may lead to a decrease in the content of Gastrodin, thereby affecting its efficacy. When the weather is dry, the humidity sensor detects that the humidity is low, transmits a signal to the controller, and the controller starts the humidification component, which sprays water mist into the air duct, and the water mist will diffuse into the placement chamber, thereby increasing the humidity.

[0009] A further improvement of the technical solution of the utility model is that the humidifying component includes a water pipe, which is connected to the inside of the temperature control box, a water spray pipe is rotatably connected to the lower part of the water pipe, an atomizing nozzle is fixedly connected to one side of the water spray pipe, and the atomizing nozzle and the water pipe are both connected to the water spray pipe; a solenoid valve is provided at the atomizing nozzle, and the solenoid valve is electrically connected to the controller; the upper end of the water pipe is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor.

[0012] The above technical solution is adopted, in which ventilation holes are provided on the placement rack, so that the air circulation effect is better and the air circulation is improved.

[0013] A further improvement of the technical solution of the utility model is that a universal wheel is fixedly connected to the bottom of the temperature control box.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the universal wheels are provided, so that the device can be easily pushed and the Gastrodia elata can be quickly transferred from one place to another, thereby reducing the time and labor costs of transportation.

The cross-sectional area of ​​the first placement cavity is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the second placement cavity.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the second placement cavities on both sides are independent of each other because of the obstruction of the air duct, while the first placement cavities are interconnected. Gastrodia elata, like other crops, will be large and small. The longer and larger ones can be placed in the first placement cavity for storage, and the shorter and smaller ones can be placed in the second placement cavity for storage, thus achieving classified storage and being more efficient.

[0017] A further improvement of the technical solution of the utility model is that the door panel is made of color-changing glass.

[0018] The above technical solution is adopted. In this solution, Gastrodia elata should not be directly exposed to sunlight, and should also avoid long-term strong light exposure. Excessive light will damage the color, smell and taste of Gastrodia elata, thereby affecting its efficacy. By setting up color-changing glass, the color-changing glass can adjust the light transmittance according to the intensity of light. The greater the light intensity, the worse the light transmittance, thereby reducing the impact of light on Gastrodia elata. In addition, by setting the door panel to be transparent, it is convenient for us to check the storage situation of Gastrodia elata and reduce the occurrence of accidents.

[0019] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the utility model has achieved the following technical progress compared with the prior art:

[0020] 1. The utility model provides a fresh gastrodia storage device, which heats the water in the temperature control box through a heating device, receives the temperature in the placement rack through a controller, and when the temperature in the placement rack reaches the suitable temperature for gastrodia storage, i.e., 15°C-25°C, and is maintained for a period of time, controls the heating device to maintain the heating output at this time to ensure that the temperature in the placement rack can be stable; then the motor is started, and the motor speed does not need to be too fast, driving the fan to rotate slowly to form an upward negative pressure, and the air in the placement chamber will flow in the direction of the flow channel under the action of the negative pressure, so that the air inside the placement chamber will flow and circulate, preventing excessive humidity from causing the gastrodia to mold; gastrodin in gastrodia is an important active ingredient with multiple pharmacological effects.
