Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of Chinese herbal medicine processing, in particular to a drying flower stalk separation device for Chinese herbal medicines. Background Technique

[0002] There are many varieties of Chinese herbal medicine flowers, such as honeysuckle, chrysanthemum, safflower, rose, etc. When processing Chinese herbal medicines, drying is required, and impurities and non-medicinal parts need to be removed. Since the dried flowers and stalks have similar specific gravities, it is difficult to separate the flowers and stalks by air separation. Therefore, pharmaceutical factories generally separate the two by manual sorting at present. However, manual screening has low efficiency, high labor intensity, and dust pollution is also generated during the screening process.

[0003] Chinese patent with publication number CN209061592U discloses a sorting device for primary processing of Chinese herbal medicines, including a metal barrel, a separation component, a bearing, a fixing component, and a shock absorption component. A motor is fixed at the center of the bottom of the metal barrel through screws. The rotating shaft at the top of the motor is sleeved with a turntable. Both sides of the turntable are fixed with a first threaded column through screws. One end of the first threaded column is fixed with a first clamping plate through screws. A round barrel is arranged at the center of the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate.

[0004] Although this sorting device separates Chinese herbal medicines into medicinal materials and impurities by centrifugal separation and can dry the medicinal materials, due to the light weight of the flowers and stalks of the medicinal materials, only the motor is used to drive the filter screen to rotate, and the generated centrifugal force has low separation efficiency for the flowers and stalks of the medicinal materials. Moreover, the medicinal materials are dried relatively slowly by only relying on the flow of normal temperature air in the filter screen. In addition, the impurities are stored between the round barrel and the filter screen, which is inconvenient to take out. Therefore, improvement is urgently needed. Content of the Utility Model

[0026] The heating box 9 is arranged on one side of the device main body 1, and heating rods 901 are installed inside the heating box 9. An air inlet pipe 10 is installed on the outer wall at the bottom of the heating box 9, and an induced draft fan 8 is installed at the top of the heating box 9;

[0027] A retaining ring 14 is fixed on the outer wall of the mesh cylinder 3 above the annular receiving groove 2;

[0028] Handles 5 are installed on both sides at the top of the device cover 4;

[0029] The input end and the output end of the induced draft fan 8 are respectively communicated with the heating box 9 and the air delivery hose 7 through a second air delivery pipe 802 and a first air delivery pipe 801;

[0030] A thermometer 902 is installed on the inner wall of the heating box 9;

[0031] Specifically, start the induced draft fan 8 to draw air through the second air delivery pipe 802. External air enters the heating box 9 through the air inlet pipe 10. The heating rods 901 heat the air, and the thermometer 902 detects the temperature. The second air delivery pipe 802 extracts the hot air in the heating box 9 and conveys it to the air delivery hose 7 through the first air delivery pipe 801. The air delivery hose 7 guides the hot air into the hot air pipe 6, and the hot air is discharged through the branch pipe 601 and blows onto the Chinese herbal medicines, providing a driving force for the Chinese herbal medicines, accelerating the separation of flowers and stalks, improving the separation efficiency. At the same time, the hot air continuously blows onto the Chinese herbal medicines, accelerating the drying speed. The useful flower parts of the Chinese herbal medicines remain in the mesh cylinder 3, and the useless stalk parts are separated to the device main body 1 outside the mesh cylinder 3 and fall into the annular receiving groove 2. The setting of the retaining ring 14 makes the stalk parts concentrate and fall into the annular receiving groove 2;

[0032] A circulating fan 11 is installed on one side of the heating box 9, and the input end and the output end of the circulating fan 11 are respectively communicated with the device main body 1 and the heating box 9 through a second circulation pipe 1102 and a first circulation pipe 1101;

[0033] Specifically, start the circulating fan 11 to extract the hot air in the device main body 1 through the second circulation pipe 1102 and convey it into the heating box 9 through the first circulation pipe 1101. At this time, close the valve inside the air inlet pipe 10, so that the hot air circulates between the device main body 1 and the heating box 9, which is energy-saving and environmentally friendly;

[0034] A filter screen 1103 is installed at one end of the second circulation pipe 1102;

[0035] The setting of the filter screen 1103 can intercept the separated stalks to prevent the stalks from being sucked into the second circulation pipe 1102;

Secondly, cover the device cover 4 on the device main body 1 through the handle 5, so that the hot air pipe 6 extends into the mesh cylinder 3, connect the air delivery hose 7 with the first air supply pipe 801. Then, start the motor 12 to drive the turntable 13 to rotate. The turntable 13 drives the mesh cylinder 3 to rotate, generating centrifugal force, so that the flowers and stems of the traditional Chinese medicine are separated. At the same time, start the air extractor 8 to extract air through the second air supply pipe 802. The external air enters the heating box 9 through the air inlet pipe 10. The heating rod 901 heats the air, and the thermometer 902 detects the temperature. The second air supply pipe 802 extracts the hot air in the heating box 9 and conveys it to the air delivery hose 7 through the first air supply pipe 801. The air delivery hose 7 guides the hot air into the hot air pipe 6. The hot air is discharged through the branch pipe 601 and blows onto the traditional Chinese medicine, providing a driving force for the traditional Chinese medicine, accelerating the separation of the flowers and stems, improving the separation efficiency. At the same time, the hot air continuously blows onto the traditional Chinese medicine, accelerating the drying speed. The useful flower part of the traditional Chinese medicine remains in the mesh cylinder 3, and the useless stem part is separated to the device main body 1 outside the mesh cylinder 3 and falls into the annular storage groove 2.
