Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of Chinese herbal medicine processing equipment, specifically, an efficient medicinal material steaming box. Background Art

[0002] A medicinal material steaming box is a device used for processing Chinese herbal medicines, mainly for steaming medicinal materials. When steaming medicinal materials, various heating methods such as steam, electric heating, or gas can be used to meet different process requirements. When using a tunnel-type steam steaming box to steam medicinal materials, due to the long length of the tunnel-type steam steaming box, when the steam moves upward and contacts the medicinal materials on the material belt, it is difficult to heat the medicinal materials in a gradient manner along the feeding direction of the material belt. In this way, as the medicinal materials move along the steaming box under the action of the material belt, different batches of medicinal materials are easily steamed to different degrees, which has a great impact on the uniformity of medicinal material steaming. Moreover, due to the long distance of the steaming box, the generated steam is difficult to be centrally exhausted after overflowing, resulting in a large amount of high-temperature steam floating, affecting the ambient temperature around the equipment. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an efficient medicinal material steaming box to solve the problems that the existing steaming box is difficult to form gradient steaming along the material conveying direction and the steam overflows seriously.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the utility model adopts the following technical means:

[0005] An efficient medicinal material steaming box includes a steam box with an open top. A horizontal conveyor belt is arranged inside the steam box. The end of the conveyor belt is connected to the feeding end of a lifting feeding belt. A step is arranged on the top side wall of the steam box. A number of baffle covers are slidably arranged side by side on the step. The baffle covers are spliced with each other to cover the top surface of the steam box. A baffle is arranged at the position of the steam box at the end of the material. A first air extraction pipe communicating with the inside of the steam box is constructed on the baffle. An air extraction hopper is constructed above the baffle cover. The air extraction hopper is used to extract the steam leaking from the side of the baffle cover. The outlet end of the first air extraction pipe extends into the air extraction hopper and is connected to an air extraction mechanism.

[0006] Preferably, the top of the steam box at the feeding end of the conveyor belt is used as the feeding end, and the top of the steam box at the discharging end of the conveyor belt is used as the discharging end. The baffle is arranged at the discharging end. The lifting feeding belt extends from the discharging end. An inclined guiding plate is constructed at the feeding end. The bottom end of the guiding plate is connected to the top feeding end of the conveyor belt. A number of through ventilation holes are constructed on the belt body of the conveyor belt.

[0007] Further, the steam box is filled with water, and a heating steam generating mechanism located below the liquid level is constructed in the steam box.

[0008] Furthermore, rollers are installed on the bottom surface of the baffle cover, and the rollers are rotatably arranged on the steps.

[0009] Furthermore, an exhaust pipe is installed on the baffle cover. The bottom end of the exhaust pipe is communicated with the steam box, and the top end of the exhaust pipe extends out of the baffle cover and is detachably installed with a pipe cover.

[0010] Furthermore, a second air extraction pipe is installed on the pipe cover. The second air extraction pipe is communicated with the exhaust pipe, and a one-way valve is arranged in the second air extraction pipe.

[0011] During the use of the present utility model, the following beneficial effects are achieved:

[0012] The materials to be steamed enter the steam box from the feeding end of the conveyor belt and continue to move along the feeding direction of the conveyor belt. By using the baffle cover on the steps, a large amount of high-temperature steam can be retained in the steam box for a long time. Then, the air extraction mechanism is started. Under the action of the first air extraction pipe, a large amount of steam remaining in the steam box can flow in the same direction, that is, from the feeding end to the end of the conveyor belt. A large amount of high-temperature steam can not only be discharged from the first exhaust pipe uniformly, avoiding a large amount of it from escaping into the external environment. At the same time, it can also make the high-temperature steam in the steam box flow in a unified direction. Along the flow direction of the steam, since it is closest to the feeding end of the steam box at the feeding part of the conveyor belt, a large amount of external cold air may be inhaled at this time. Therefore, at the head end of the conveyor belt, the environmental temperature in the steam box is relatively low. And as the high-temperature steam flows, along the flow direction of the high-temperature steam, the temperature in the steam box will gradually increase. Thus, when the Chinese herbal medicines are conveyed along the conveyor belt, they are steamed at a low temperature first and then at a high temperature, avoiding the Chinese herbal medicines from being violently steamed at a high temperature as soon as they enter the steam box. At the same time, it also makes the entire steaming process controllable. The flow rate of the high-temperature steam in the steam box can be adjusted by adjusting the air extraction efficiency of the air extraction mechanism, thereby controlling the temperature in the steam box. Effectively avoiding the problem that the medicinal materials in different batches are steamed to different degrees in the steam box, which affects the drug uniformity. At the same time, by arranging the baffle cover, the gap between adjacent two baffle covers can also be adjusted, so that more external cold air can enter the steam box as needed, thereby performing sectional temperature adjustment on the steam in the steam box.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a high-efficiency medicinal material cooking box comprises a steam box 1 with an open top, a horizontal conveyor belt 2 is arranged inside the steam box 1, the end of the conveyor belt 2 is connected with the feeding end of the lifting and feeding belt 3, a step 4 is arranged on the top side wall of the steam box 1, a plurality of baffles 5 are slidably arranged side by side on the step 4, the baffles 5 are spliced ​​with each other to cover the top surface of the steam box 1, a baffle plate 6 is arranged at the end of the material of the steam box 1, a first exhaust pipe 7 connected with the inside of the steam box 1 is constructed on the baffle plate 6, an exhaust hopper 8 is constructed above the baffle cover 5, the exhaust hopper 8 is used to extract steam leaking from the side of the baffle cover 5, the air outlet end of the first exhaust pipe 7 extends into the exhaust hopper 8 and is connected with the exhaust mechanism.

[0023] In this way, the material to be steamed enters the steam box 1 from the feeding end of the conveyor belt 2 and continues to move along the feeding direction of the conveyor belt 2. By using the baffle 5 on the step 4, a large amount of high-temperature steam can be retained in the steam box 1 for a long time. Then, the air extraction mechanism is started. Under the action of the first air extraction pipe 7, a large amount of steam remaining in the steam box 1 can flow in the same direction, that is, from the feeding end to the end of the conveyor belt 2. A large amount of high-temperature steam can not only be discharged uniformly from the first exhaust pipe, avoiding a large amount of it escaping into the external environment. At the same time, it can also make the high-temperature steam in the steam box 1 flow in a unified direction. Along the flow direction of the steam, since it is closest to the feeding end of the steam box 1 at the feeding part of the conveyor belt 2, a large amount of external cold air may be inhaled at this time. Therefore, at the head end of the conveyor belt 2, the ambient temperature in the steam box 1 is relatively low. As the high-temperature steam flows, along the flow direction of the high-temperature steam, the temperature in the steam box 1 will gradually increase. Thus, during the process of the Chinese herbal medicine being conveyed along the conveyor belt 2, it is steamed at a low temperature first and then at a high temperature, avoiding the Chinese herbal medicine being subjected to intense high-temperature steaming as soon as it enters the steam box 1. At the same time, it also makes the entire steaming process controllable. The flow rate of the high-temperature steam in the steam box 1 can be adjusted by adjusting the air extraction efficiency of the air extraction mechanism, thereby controlling the temperature in the steam box 1. This effectively avoids the problem that the medicinal materials in different batches are steamed to different degrees in the steam box 1, which affects the drug uniformity. At the same time, through the baffle 5 arranged in the east, the gap between two adjacent baffles 5 can also be adjusted, so that more external cold air can enter the steam box 1 as needed, thereby performing sectional temperature adjustment on the steam in the steam box 1.

[0024] Further, the steam box 1 is located at the top of the feeding end of the conveyor belt 2 as the feeding end, the steam box 1 is located at the top of the discharging end of the conveyor belt 2 as the discharging end, the baffle 6 is arranged at the discharging end, the lifting conveyor belt 3 extends from the discharging end, the feeding end is provided with an inclined guide plate 9, the bottom end of the guide plate 9 is connected to the top feeding end of the conveyor belt 2, and a plurality of through ventilation holes 10 are formed on the belt body of the conveyor belt 2.

[0025] In this way, the guide plate 9 is used to buffer the medicinal materials added to the steam box 1, avoiding them directly falling on the conveyor belt 2 and causing the problem of the material falling off the conveyor belt 2. And through the ventilation holes 10 provided on the conveyor belt 2, the medicinal materials placed on the conveyor belt 2 can be steamed comprehensively and evenly.

[0026] Furthermore, water is filled in the steam box 1, and a heating steam generating mechanism located below the liquid level is constructed in the steam box 1.

[0027] In addition, in order to facilitate the movement of the baffle 5 on the step 4, rollers 11 are installed on the bottom surface of the baffle 5, and the rollers 11 are rollably arranged on the step 4.

[0028] Furthermore, an exhaust pipe 12 is installed on the baffle 5. The bottom end of the exhaust pipe 12 is communicated with the steam box 1, and the top end of the exhaust pipe 12 extends out of the baffle 5 and is detachably installed with a pipe cap 13.

[0029] In this way, when it is necessary to make the temperature at a certain position of the baffle 5 in the steam box 1 lower, the pipe cap 13 at the corresponding position of the baffle 5 is opened to connect the exhaust pipe 12. In this way, under the action of the first suction pipe 7, external cold air can also be drawn into the exhaust pipe 12, so that the temperature below the baffle 5 at the position where the exhaust pipe 12 is correspondingly opened can be quickly reduced, so as to adapt to various different modes of steaming.

[0030] Furthermore, in order to be able to selectively and quickly suck the steam section in the steam box 1 as needed, a second suction pipe 14 is installed on the pipe cap 13. The second suction pipe 14 is communicated with the exhaust pipe 12, and a one-way valve 15 is arranged in the second suction pipe 14.

[0031] In this way, when it is necessary to perform multi-position air extraction in the steam box 1, the corresponding second suction pipe 14 is communicated with an external air extraction device, so that it moves with the first suction pipe 7, and multiple air extraction points exist in the steam box 1. Thus, through multi-point air extraction, the temperature in the steam box 1 can be adjusted. The temperature in the steam box 1 can be selectively adjusted by the air extraction speed.

[0032] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
