Specific embodiments

[0021] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , in the embodiments of the present utility model, a stirring mechanism for a constant temperature fermentation kettle for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces includes a base 100. A kettle body 200 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 100, and a lifting mechanism 300 and a pushing mechanism 400 are arranged inside the kettle body 200;

[0023] The lifting mechanism 300 includes a rotating rod 310. The bottom end of the rotating rod 310 is rotatably connected to the center of the inner bottom surface of the kettle body 200. The top end of the rotating rod 310 is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 320. A circular hole is opened at one end of the connecting plate 320. A cylinder 330 is fixedly sleeved inside the circular hole. An auger shaft 340 is arranged inside the cylinder 330. An auger plate 341 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side wall of the auger shaft 340. A U-shaped frame 321 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the connecting plate 320. The top end of the auger shaft 340 penetrates through the top surface of the U-shaped frame 321 and is rotatably connected to the top surface of the U-shaped frame 321.

[0024] Specifically, by putting the traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces into the kettle body 200 for fermentation, during the fermentation process, the rotating rod 310 can be rotated to drive the connecting plate 320 and the cylinder 330 to rotate synchronously, so that the cylinder 330 rotates around the central axis of the rotating rod 310, thereby stirring the traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces stacked inside the kettle body 200 by the cylinder 330. Thus, the materials inside the kettle body 200 are redistributed by the stirring of the cylinder 330, and the material surface returns to a horizontal state. And the auger shaft 340 can be rotated to drive the auger plate 341 to rotate synchronously, so that the auger plate 341 conveys the materials at the lower part inside the kettle body 200 to the upper part of the kettle body 200, avoiding the long-term accumulation and backlog of the materials at the bottom of the kettle body 200.

[0025] Embodiment 1

[0026] As Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, in this embodiment, a motor box 110 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the base 100, and a driving motor is arranged inside the motor box 110. The motor shaft of the driving motor penetrates through the bottom surface of the kettle body 200 and is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating rod 310.

[0027] In this embodiment, by starting the driving motor, the auger shaft 340 can be driven to rotate, which is convenient for the user to use.

[0028] As Figures 2 - 4 shown, in this embodiment, a toothed ring 350 is arranged inside the kettle body 200, and a plurality of support rods are fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the kettle body 200. One ends of the plurality of support rods are fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the toothed ring 350. The top end of the auger shaft 340 is fixedly connected to a gear 342, and the gear 342 meshes with the teeth on the inner side wall of the toothed ring 350. The bottom end of the cylinder body 330 is located above the bottom end of the rotating rod 310, and the pushing mechanism 400 is located below the bottom end of the cylinder body 330.

[0029] During specific implementation, when the driving motor drives the rotating rod 310 to rotate, the cylinder body 330 and the auger shaft 340 revolve around the central axis of the rotating rod 310, so that the auger shaft 340 drives the gear 342 to roll on the toothed ring 350, thereby enabling the auger shaft 340 to rotate. Moreover, there is a certain space between the bottom end of the cylinder body 330 and the pushing mechanism 400, which is convenient for the materials at the bottom of the kettle body 200 to enter the cylinder body 330 and be driven by the auger plate 341 to be conveyed upward, and then the materials fall between the U-shaped frame 321 and the top end of the cylinder body 330.

[0030] Embodiment 2

[0031] On the basis of Embodiment 1, by setting the pushing mechanism 400, it is easier for the materials at the bottom of the kettle body 200 to enter the inside of the cylinder body 330.

[0032] As Figures 3 - 4As shown, in this embodiment, the pushing mechanism 400 includes a sliding plate 410, and a plurality of bayonets 411 are formed on the outer side wall of the sliding plate 410. The sliding plate 410 is slidably sleeved on the inner side wall of the kettle body 200, and a plurality of clamping strips 210 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the inner side wall of the kettle body 200. The plurality of clamping strips 210 correspond to the plurality of bayonets 411 one by one, and the plurality of clamping strips 210 are all slidably clamped inside the corresponding bayonets 411. A sliding hole is formed on the top surface of the sliding plate 410, and the inner side wall of the sliding hole is slidably sleeved on the outer side wall of the rotating rod 310. Two arc-shaped strips 430 are arranged below the sliding plate 410, and the top surfaces of the two arc-shaped strips 430 are inclined surfaces. The two arc-shaped strips 430 are diagonally arranged with the central axis of the rotating rod 310 as the center, and a fixing plate 440 is fixedly connected between the two arc-shaped strips 430. The fixing plate 440 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 310. Two top blocks 420 are fixedly connected to the outer ring edge of the bottom surface of the sliding plate 410.

[0033] During specific implementation, the sliding plate 410 can only slide up and down inside the kettle body 200 due to the limitation of the clamping strip 210 and cannot rotate. When the two arc-shaped strips 430 do not contact the top blocks 420, the sliding plate 410 naturally moves away from the bottom end of the cylinder body 330 due to the weight of the material above. When the driving motor drives the rotating rod 310 to rotate, the rotating rod 310 drives the two arc-shaped strips 430 to rotate synchronously through the fixing plate 440, so that the two top blocks 420 respectively contact the two arc-shaped strips 430 and move upward along the top inclined surfaces of the two arc-shaped strips 430, thereby driving the sliding plate 410 to move upward, and pushing the material between the sliding plate 410 and the bottom end of the cylinder body 330 into the cylinder body 330, which is convenient for the screw blade 341 in the cylinder body 330 to convey the material. And when the cylinder body 330 rotates with the rotating rod 310, the material in the kettle body 200 can be stirred to redistribute the material in the kettle body 200, so that there is always material at the bottom of the cylinder body 330 and it is not easy to appear voids.

[0034] As Figures 3 - 5 shown, in this embodiment, a rotating cylinder 450 is rotatably connected to the center of the top surface of the sliding plate 410, and the inner side wall of the rotating cylinder 450 is slidably sleeved on the outer side wall of the rotating rod 310. A plurality of convex strips are fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the rotating cylinder 450, and a plurality of grooves are formed on the outer side wall of the rotating rod 310. The convex strips are slidably clamped inside the grooves. A plurality of guide plates 451 are fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the rotating cylinder 450, and the bottom end of the top block 420 is an arc surface.

[0035] During specific implementation, the bottom surface of the top block 420 being an arc surface is convenient for the top block 420 to move along the top inclined surface of the arc-shaped strip 430. When the rotating rod 310 rotates, the rotating rod 310 can drive the rotating cylinder 450 to rotate synchronously, so that the guide plates 451 on the rotating cylinder 450 sweep the material in the kettle body 200 for stirring, improving the stirring effect on the material, and when the sliding plate 410 moves, it can drive the rotating cylinder 450 to move synchronously.
