[0002] Pinellia ternata is a commonly used Chinese medicinal material, mainly derived from the tubers of the perennial herb Pinellia ternata. In traditional Chinese medicine, Pinellia ternata is used to treat symptoms such as cough, vomiting, sputum, and dizziness. However, Pinellia ternata contains certain toxic components in its natural state, such as saponins in raw Pinellia ternata. If these components are not processed, they may cause side effects, such as irritating the gastrointestinal tract and causing cramps. Therefore, Pinellia ternata needs to undergo a specific processing process to reduce its toxicity, enhance its efficacy, and make it safer for clinical treatment.
[0003] At present, the traditional processing of Pinellia ternata mainly relies on manual steaming, which has many disadvantages. First, manual steaming is inefficient and it is difficult to ensure the consistency of the processing quality of each batch of Pinellia ternata. Because the control of temperature, time and steam distribution is not precise enough, it is easy to cause the processing degree of Pinellia ternata to be different, affecting the stability and safety of the final efficacy. It is difficult to ensure the needs of large-scale production, which has become an urgent problem for processors in the industry and needs to be solved urgently. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the utility model provides a fully automatic steam-processed pinellia tuber machine, and the specific technical scheme is as follows:
[0005] The utility model provides a fully automatic steam-processing machine for pinellia tuber, comprising a base, an interlaced driving wheel, a driven wheel and a roller device mounted thereon, for steaming pinellia tuber.

A steam spray cylinder is penetrated by the axis of the roller device, wherein a plurality of hollow annular impact holes are provided in the hollow cylinder body, and the steam spray cylinder is sleeved with the bearings in the sealing covers on both sides of the cylinder end, so that the steam spray cylinder remains stationary during the rolling process of the roller. In the working state, the roller device is driven to rotate by the driving wheel, driving the pinellia tuber in the steaming cylinder to roll, and the steam is sprayed annularly through the impact holes, so as to realize the rolling steaming of pinellia tuber.
[0006] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the edge of the roller is provided with a convex groove, which is engaged with the corresponding notches on the driving wheel and the driven wheel for transmission.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, a U-shaped anti-dropping card is vertically arranged at the bottom of the rolling plate, and its U-shaped mouth overlaps with the plate side to prevent the rolling plate from falling off the track.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, the sealing ring is composed of glass and is used to observe and monitor the processing process.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, a timing lamp is arranged through the inner edge of the rolling disc and is used to display the steaming stage.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, the end of the steaming cylinder is threadedly connected with a screw cap, and a pull ring is arranged on the outer side of the screw cap to increase the rotation force arm.

Specific embodiments
[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model more clear and understandable, the following further details the present utility model in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.
[0022] Embodiment 1
[0023] To solve the technical problems in the background art, a full - automatic Pinellia ternata steam processing machine is given as follows:
[0024] Combined with Figure 1 - Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a full - automatic Pinellia ternata steam processing machine includes a base 1, an interlaced arrangement of a driving wheel 24 and a driven wheel 25, and a drum device 2 mounted thereon for steaming Pinellia ternata. The device is formed by a rolling disc 21 clamping a sealing ring 23 and a stabilizing rod 22 to form a hollow cylinder and is coupled and driven with the driving wheel 24 and the driven wheel 25. A plurality of hollow steaming cylinders 4 are circumferentially and regularly inserted for loading Pinellia ternata for steaming. A steam spray tube 3 is inserted through the axis of the drum device 2. A plurality of hollow annular impact holes 321 are provided in its hollow tube body 32 and are sleeved with bearings 311 in the covers 31 on both sides of the tube ends, so that the steam spray tube 3 remains stationary during the rolling of the drum. In the working state, the drum device 2 is driven by the driving wheel 24 to rotate, driving the Pinellia ternata in the steaming cylinder 4 to roll. The steam is sprayed in a ring through the impact holes 321 to achieve the rolling steaming of Pinellia ternata.
[0025] Through the above - mentioned technical means, first, through the coupled drive of the driving wheel 24, the driven wheel 25 and the drum device 2, the drum device 2 can rotate continuously, so as to realize the continuous tumbling of Pinellia ternata in the steaming cylinder 4. Such a dynamic steaming method can ensure that all parts of Pinellia ternata are evenly heated, improving the uniformity and effect of processing. Second, the design of the steam spray tube 3 inside the machine, by evenly spraying steam through the annular impact holes 321, can effectively control the distribution of steam, ensuring that the medicinal materials are in full contact with the steam. This not only improves the extraction efficiency of active ingredients during the processing, but also helps to reduce the residue of harmful ingredients. In addition, the need for manual operation is reduced, the labor intensity is lowered, and the production safety is improved. By precisely controlling the steaming time and temperature, the medicinal effect and quality of Pinellia ternata can be better maintained, thus fully enhancing the economic benefits.
[0026] Example Two
[0027] Combined with Figure 1 - Figure 3 As shown, on the basis of the above embodiments, the following content is further given in this embodiment:
[0028] In this embodiment, a convex groove 211 is provided at the edge of the rolling disc 21, which is clamped and driven with the corresponding notches opened on the driving wheel 24 and the driven wheel 25.
[0029] A U-shaped anti-disengagement clip 26 is vertically provided at the bottom of the rolling disc 21, and its U-shaped opening is lapped with the disc side to prevent the rolling disc 21 from disengaging from the track.
[0030] Through the above technical means, for the precise clamping of the convex groove 211 and the notch, the tight combination between the rolling disc 21 and the driving wheel can be realized, which not only enhances the transmission stability, reduces the friction and wear during operation, but also improves the operation efficiency of the overall machine. This design enables the rolling disc 21 to maintain stable operation when bearing a large load, avoiding production accidents caused by transmission failure, thereby improving the reliability and service life of the equipment. In addition, the U-shaped anti-disengagement clip 26 design at the bottom of the rolling disc 21 effectively prevents the rolling disc 21 from disengaging from the track during long-term operation through the lap of its U-shaped opening with the disc side, ensuring the safety of the equipment. This anti-disengagement design is extremely crucial for ensuring the stability during continuous production, especially in large-scale batch production, and can effectively reduce the downtime and related maintenance costs caused by equipment failures.
[0031] Example Three
[0032] Combined with Figure 1 - Figure 2 As shown, on the basis of the above embodiments, the following content is further given in this embodiment:
[0033] In this embodiment, the sealing ring 23 is made of glass and is used to observe and monitor the processing process.
[0034] A warning lamp is penetrated through the inner edge of the rolling disc 21 and is used to display the steaming stage.
[0035] Through the above technical means, the design of the glass sealing ring 23 in the device and the timing lamp 212 on the inner edge of the rolling disc 21 jointly improve the safety, monitoring efficiency, and operation convenience of the steaming process. The glass sealing ring 23 allows the operator to directly view the internal operation and monitor the changes of traditional Chinese medicine materials during the processing in real time. This not only improves the transparency of the operation but also greatly enhances the safety and controllability. Through real-time observation, the steam supply can be adjusted in a timely manner to cope with any possible abnormal situations and ensure the processing quality. In addition, the timing lamp 212 on the inner edge of the rolling disc 21 provides visual cues at different stages of the steaming process, indicating different stages of steaming through different colors. This not only simplifies the operation process, reduces the training requirements for operators, but also helps ensure that the time can be precisely controlled at each stage, thereby guaranteeing the quality and consistency of the final product. It effectively avoids human timing errors, improves production efficiency, and the consistency of different batches of products.
[0036] Embodiment 4
[0037] Combined with Figure 5 As shown, based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further provides the following content:
[0038] In this embodiment, the end of the steaming cylinder 4 is threadedly connected with a screw cap 41, and a pull ring 412 is provided on the outer side of the screw cap 41 to increase the rotation lever arm.
[0039] A plurality of diamond-shaped steaming holes 42 are axially penetrated through the outer side of the steaming cylinder 4.
[0040] Through the above technical means, first, the screw cap 41 is tightly combined with the steaming cylinder 4 through threaded connection. This design not only enhances the airtightness of the overall structure, prevents steam leakage, but also can be quickly opened or closed when needed, improving the flexibility of Pinellia ternata transfer. The design of the pull ring 412 on the outer side of the screw cap 41 significantly increases the rotation lever arm, making it easier to open and close the screw cap 41 and reducing the opening and closing difficulty during the operation process. In addition, the diamond-shaped steaming holes 42 not only optimize the steam distribution, enabling the steam to penetrate the traditional Chinese medicine materials more evenly, but also the unique diamond shape helps increase the contact area between the steam and the traditional Chinese medicine materials, thereby improving the steaming efficiency and the processing quality of the traditional Chinese medicine materials. This uniform heat distribution ensures that each portion of the traditional Chinese medicine materials can be fully and evenly heat-treated, avoiding problems such as local overheating or insufficient steaming, and further guaranteeing the consistency and efficacy of the product.
[0041] The working principle and usage process of the present utility model:
[0042] When the present utility model is implemented, first, the operator loads the Pinellia ternata into the steaming cylinder 4. After tightening the rotary cover 41, the roller device 2 is inserted, and the machine is started. The driving wheel 24 and the driven wheel 25 are clamped with the convex grooves 211 on the edge of the rolling disc 21 to drive the roller device 2 to rotate. The V-shaped anti-disengagement clamp 26 at the bottom of the rolling disc 21 is lapped with the disc side to ensure that the rolling disc 21 is stable and does not derail during long-term rotation. As the roller rotates, the loaded Pinellia ternata rolls in the steaming cylinder 4, and the steam supplied from the outside in the steel pipe 33 is evenly sprayed onto the outer peripheral surface of the rotating steaming cylinder 4 through the annular impact holes 321 of the stationary cylinder body 32 to achieve circumferential steam impact. After the steaming is completed, the timing lamp 212 lights up, the driving wheel 24 stops driving, the roller stops rotating, the operator takes out the steaming cylinder 4, unscrews the rotary cover 41, takes out the processed Pinellia ternata, and proceeds to the next step of processing and packaging.
[0043] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.
