Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine processing, in particular to a horizontal infiltration tank for traditional Chinese medicine processing. Background Technique

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicines refer to those traditional Chinese medicine raw materials that have not been processed by modern industry and retain their natural forms and activities. They are gifts from nature, containing rich pharmacological components and therapeutic effects. In China, this traditional medicine system has gone through thousands of years of precipitation and development. It not only integrates the wisdom and experience of ancient sages but also continuously absorbs the essence of modern Western medicine science, forming a unique pattern of integrating traditional Chinese and Western medicines and complementing each other's advantages, demonstrating the profound heritage and infinite vitality of Chinese medicine culture. The processing process of traditional Chinese medicines is a key step in transforming them from a natural state into a form suitable for clinical use. Among them, infiltration, as the primary link in processing, is crucial for the extraction of the effective components of the medicines and the exertion of their medicinal effects.

[0003] However, traditional infiltration methods are often limited to simple static soaking, that is, directly placing the medicinal materials in the soaking tank and relying on the natural action of time to make the medicinal materials absorb water and soften. This process not only takes a long time and is inefficient but may also lead to uneven soaking of the medicinal materials, resulting in insufficient release of the effective components inside the medicinal materials and affecting the quality and efficacy of the final medicine. Therefore, we propose a new type of horizontal infiltration tank for traditional Chinese medicine processing. Content of the Utility Model

[0018] (III) Beneficial effects

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a method having the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. By setting the mutual cooperation between the horizontal tank mechanism and the stirring mechanism, the present utility model realizes the all-round and dead-angle-free stirring and tumbling of Chinese medicinal materials during the infiltration process. The rotation of the right rotating rod drives the entire cylinder to rotate, and at the same time, the stirring blades inside the stirring mechanism rotate rapidly in the cylinder, continuously mixing the Chinese medicinal materials with the infiltration liquid. This dual stirring method significantly increases the contact area and contact frequency between the Chinese medicinal materials and the infiltration liquid, thereby accelerating the water absorption and softening process of the Chinese medicinal materials, improving the infiltration efficiency. In addition, the arc-shaped block design on the inner wall of the cylinder further enhances the stirring effect, enabling the Chinese medicinal materials to come into contact with the infiltration liquid more evenly during tumbling, avoiding the uneven soaking problem that may occur in the traditional static soaking method, and ensuring that the Chinese medicinal materials can be fully and evenly infiltrated;

[0021] 2. By setting a power mechanism that cooperates with the horizontal tank mechanism and the stirring mechanism, especially the application of a dual-axis motor, and programming the dual-axis motor using an external control system, it can be ensured that the left and right output ends rotate in opposite directions, enabling the stirring mechanism and the horizontal tank mechanism to rotate synchronously in opposite directions. This design not only avoids stirring dead angles but also realizes the all-round stirring and tumbling of Chinese medicinal materials through dynamic interaction forces. At the same time, the use of a belt drive system ensures the smooth and reliable power transmission, extends the service life of the equipment, and the entire infiltration process realizes automatic control, reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency and processing quality.

[0022] 3. By setting a heating mechanism that cooperates with the horizontal tank mechanism and the stirring mechanism, using the heating wire to generate heat by passing electricity to heat the water and infiltration liquid in the box, the dual effects of heating and stirring further accelerate the softening process of the internal cell tissue of Chinese medicinal materials, improve the infiltration effect, and effectively shorten the infiltration time.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , the present utility model provides a technical solution:

[0037] Embodiment 1

[0038] As Figures 1 to 5 , the present utility model provides a horizontal soaking tank for processing Chinese herbal medicines, which includes a box body 1. A horizontal tank mechanism 2 is arranged on the right side inside the box body 1. A stirring mechanism 3 is arranged on the left side inside the horizontal tank mechanism 2. A power mechanism 4 is arranged at the bottom of the box body 1. A drainage mechanism 5 is arranged on the front surface of the box body 1. A heating mechanism 6 is arranged on the back surface of the horizontal tank mechanism 2. The horizontal tank mechanism 2 includes a cylinder body 21. A right baffle 22 is fixedly installed at the right end of the cylinder body 21. A right rotating rod 23 is fixedly installed at the center of the right side of the right baffle 22. A Chinese herbal medicine placing port 24 is opened at the top of the cylinder body 21. A cover plate 25 is rotatably connected inside the Chinese herbal medicine placing port 24. A water inlet hole 26 is opened inside the cylinder body 21. An arc-shaped block 27 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cylinder body 21. The right rotating rod 23 is rotatably connected to the right side of the box body 1, and the right end of the right rotating rod 23 extends out of the box body 1. The stirring mechanism 3 includes a left baffle 31 rotatably connected to the left end of the cylinder body 21. A stirring blade 32 is fixedly installed on the right side of the left baffle 31. A left rotating rod 33 is fixedly installed on the left side of the left baffle 31. The left rotating rod 33 is rotatably connected to the left side of the box body 1, and the left end of the left rotating rod 33 extends out of the box body 1.

[0039] In this embodiment, through the well-designed cooperation between the horizontal tank mechanism 2 and the stirring mechanism 3, all-round and uniform contact of traditional Chinese medicine during the infiltration process is achieved. The cylinder body 21 serves as the main bearing space for traditional Chinese medicine. The right baffle 22 and the right rotating rod 23 at the right end of the cylinder body 21 not only play a role in fixing and transmission, but also drive the entire cylinder body 21 to rotate through their rotation. At the same time, the traditional Chinese medicine placement opening 24 at the top of the cylinder body 21 and the rotatable cover plate 25 are designed to facilitate the feeding and sealing of traditional Chinese medicine, effectively preventing the splashing and loss of traditional Chinese medicine during the infiltration process. In addition, the arc-shaped blocks 27 on the inner wall of the cylinder body 21 further enhance the stirring effect, enabling the traditional Chinese medicine to contact the infiltration liquid more evenly during the tumbling process and improving the infiltration efficiency.

[0040] Embodiment Two

[0041] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, on the basis of Embodiment 1, the present utility model provides a technical solution: Preferably, the power mechanism 4 includes a double-shaft motor 41 fixedly installed at the bottom of the box body 1. The left output end of the double-shaft motor 41 is fixedly installed with a left output rod 42. The left end of the left output rod 42 is fixedly installed with a left driving wheel 43. The outside of the left driving wheel 43 is drivingly connected with a left belt 44. The inner side of the upper end of the left belt 44 is drivingly connected with a left driven wheel 45. The left driven wheel 45 is fixedly installed on the left rotating rod 33. The right output end of the double-shaft motor 41 is fixedly installed with a right output rod 46. The right end of the right output rod 46 is fixedly installed with a right driving wheel 47. The outside of the right driving wheel 47 is drivingly connected with a right belt 48. The inner side of the upper end of the right belt 48 is drivingly connected with a right driven wheel 49. The right driven wheel 49 is fixedly installed on the right rotating rod 23.

[0042] In this embodiment, by introducing the power mechanism 4, especially the application of the double-shaft motor 41, the rotation of the stirring mechanism 3 and the horizontal tank mechanism 2 can be synchronized and precisely controlled. The two output ends of the double-shaft motor 41 respectively drive the stirring mechanism 3 and the horizontal tank mechanism 2 to rotate in the opposite direction through the belt drive system (left belt 44 and right belt 48). This design of reverse rotation not only avoids the stirring dead angle, but also realizes all-round and dead-angle-free stirring and tumbling of traditional Chinese medicine through the dynamic interaction force, further improving the infiltration effect. At the same time, the use of the belt drive system also ensures the smooth and reliable power transmission and extends the service life of the equipment.

[0043] Embodiment Three

[0044] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, on the basis of Embodiment 1, the present utility model provides a technical solution: Preferably, the drainage mechanism 5 includes a drain pipe 51 fixedly installed on the front of the box body 1. A manual valve 52 is arranged above the drain pipe 51.

[0045] In this embodiment, through the combination of the drain pipe 51 fixedly installed on the front of the box body 1 and the manual valve 52, the convenience and controllability of discharging the infiltration liquid are realized. After the infiltration is completed, the operator only needs to simply open the manual valve 52, and the infiltration liquid can be quickly discharged through the drain pipe 51, which provides convenience for the subsequent processing steps. In addition, the design of the drainage mechanism 5 also takes into account the maintenance and cleaning requirements of the equipment, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the equipment.

[0046] Embodiment 4

[0047] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, on the basis of Embodiment 1, the present utility model provides a technical solution: Preferably, the heating mechanism 6 includes a heating wire 61 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the box body 1, and the left end of the heating wire 61 is electrically connected to an external wire 62.

[0048] In this embodiment, by adding the heating mechanism 6, the infiltration efficiency of traditional Chinese medicinal materials is further improved. The heating mechanism 6 is composed of a heating wire 61 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the box body 1, which generates heat through an external power supply to heat the water and infiltration liquid in the box body 1. As the temperature gradually rises, the temperature of the infiltration liquid also increases accordingly, thereby accelerating the softening process of the internal cell tissue of the traditional Chinese medicinal materials. The dual effects of this heating and stirring make the infiltration effect of the traditional Chinese medicinal materials more significant, effectively shortening the infiltration time and improving the production efficiency.

[0049] During specific use, as a horizontal infiltration tank for processing traditional Chinese medicinal materials, first, the dual-axis motor 41 is precisely programmed through an external control system to ensure that the left and right output ends can rotate in opposite directions. This design ingeniously utilizes the mechanical principle to form a dynamic interaction force between the stirring mechanism 3 and the horizontal tank mechanism 2, effectively avoiding the stirring dead corners that may be caused by single-direction rotation, thereby realizing the all-round and dead-angle-free stirring and tumbling of traditional Chinese medicinal materials in the cylinder body 21;

[0050] After confirming that the dual-axis motor 41 is set correctly, an appropriate amount of infiltration liquid is injected into the box body 1 to ensure that the liquid level can fully cover the traditional Chinese medicinal materials to be put in. Subsequently, the traditional Chinese medicinal materials to be processed are carefully put into the cylinder body 21 through the traditional Chinese medicinal material placement port 24, and the cover plate 25 is quickly covered to form a sealed environment. This step avoids the splashing and loss of traditional Chinese medicinal materials during the stirring process;

[0051] After starting the dual-axis motor 41, the left and right output ends respectively drive the stirring mechanism 3 (the left output rod 42, the left driving wheel 43, the left belt 44, and the left driven wheel 45 drive the left rotating rod 33 and the stirring mechanism 3 closely connected thereto to start rotating forward) and the horizontal tank mechanism 2 (the right output rod 46, the right driving wheel 47, the right belt 48, and the right driven wheel 49) drive the right rotating rod 23 to rotate reversely) to rotate. The stirring blades 32 in the stirring mechanism 3 rotate rapidly in the cylinder body 21, continuously mixing the Chinese medicinal materials with the infiltration liquid, promoting the rapid softening of the cell tissues on the surface and inside of the Chinese medicinal materials. At the same time, the reverse rotation of the horizontal tank mechanism 2 drives the entire cylinder body 21 to rotate in the box body 1. The design of the arc-shaped block 27 further enhances the stirring effect, enabling the Chinese medicinal materials to come into contact with the infiltration liquid more evenly during tumbling and improving the infiltration efficiency;

[0052] The heating mechanism 6 is started synchronously. The heating wire 61 generates heat through an external power supply, heating the water and the infiltration liquid in the box body 1. As the temperature gradually rises, the temperature of the infiltration liquid also increases accordingly, thereby accelerating the softening process of the cell tissues inside the Chinese medicinal materials. This dual action of heating and stirring makes the infiltration effect of the Chinese medicinal materials more significant and effectively shortens the infiltration time;

[0053] After the infiltration is completed, the heating mechanism 6 and the dual-axis motor 41 are turned off. By operating the drainage mechanism 5 on the front of the box body 1, that is, opening the manual valve 52 and discharging the infiltration liquid using the drain pipe 51. At this time, the Chinese medicinal materials can be subjected to subsequent cleaning, drying, etc. as needed, or directly taken out for the next step of processing. At the same time, a new infiltration liquid can also be replaced for the next round of processing to meet the requirements of continuous production;

[0054] In summary, the horizontal infiltration tank for Chinese medicinal material processing designed by the present utility model realizes the efficient and uniform infiltration of Chinese medicinal materials through designs such as precise control, dual stirring, heating assistance, and a convenient drainage mechanism 5, providing a new solution for the Chinese medicinal material processing industry.

[0055] The above are only specific embodiments of the present utility model, but the technical features of the present utility model are not limited thereto. Any simple changes, equivalent replacements, or modifications made based on the present utility model to solve substantially the same technical problems and achieve substantially the same technical effects are all covered by the protection scope of the present utility model.
