Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the processing technology of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, and particularly to a device for turning medicinal materials for drying / air-drying. Background Art

[0002] In the processing of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, after the medicinal materials are washed, they will be dried or air-dried. In order to improve the efficiency of drying or air-drying, generally, the medicinal materials are conveyed by a conveyor belt, and a drying chamber or an air-drying chamber is erected on the conveyor belt to complete drying or air-drying during the conveying process. The end of the conveying is the starting point of the next process, or is relatively close to the working point of the next process, thus saving the transfer time. However, during the conveying, since the medicinal materials maintain the posture at the time of feeding, the side in contact with the conveyor belt is farther from the heat source or the air source than the other side, and due to the contact with the conveyor belt, it will cause unevenness of the medicinal materials during the drying or air-drying process, so it is necessary to reduce the conveyor belt speed or extend the conveyor belt length to increase the time of the medicinal materials in the chamber, which will have a certain impact on the efficiency, or require a larger floor area. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] In order to solve the above deficiencies of the prior art, the present application provides a device for turning medicinal materials, which is applied to the drying / air-drying process and is used to turn the medicinal materials on the conveyor belt to improve the drying or air-drying efficiency.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present utility model adopts the following technologies:

[0005] A device for turning medicinal materials, which is applied to the drying / air-drying process of medicinal materials, is arranged above the conveyor belt and is located in a chamber erected on the conveyor belt. The chamber is provided with a device for providing a heat source / air source. The device includes:

[0006] A plurality of turning components arranged above the conveyor belt along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt. There is a gap between the lowest point of the turning component and the surface of the conveyor belt;

[0007] A swing rod connected to the upper ends of the plurality of turning components, and a rotating rod is rotatably connected to the middle thereof;

[0008] A rotating disk coaxially connected to the output shaft of a motor vertically arranged on the upper frame, and the rotating rod is eccentrically connected to the rotating disk;

[0009] A plurality of limiting frames for suspending the swing rod, which include a horizontal section and two vertical sections perpendicularly connected to both ends of the horizontal section. The horizontal section is horizontally arranged and perpendicular to the swing rod. The bottom surface of the swing rod is in contact and cooperation with the top surface of the horizontal section, and the upper ends of the vertical sections are connected to the upper frame;

[0010] Among them, the turning component includes a pair of wave rods arranged at intervals and along the conveying direction. There is a gap between the wave rods and the surface of the conveyor belt. The wave rods are respectively connected to an upper cross bar through a vertical rod, and the upper cross bar is connected to the swing rod.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0012] When this device is applied to the medicinal material drying / air-drying process, the turning assembly that swings in a circular motion can turn the medicinal materials to improve the drying / air-drying effect during transportation. Description of the Drawings

[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the following will describe the embodiments of the present utility model in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the embodiments described herein are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0017] An embodiment of this application provides a medicinal material turning device, which is applied to the medicinal material drying / air-drying process. As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the device is arranged above the conveyor belt 12 and is located inside the bin 11 erected on the conveyor belt 12. The bin 11 is provided with equipment for providing heat source / air source. The device includes a turning assembly 21, a swing rod 22, a limit frame 23, a rotating rod 24, a rotating disk 25, a motor 26, etc.

[0018] Specifically, there are multiple turning assemblies 21, which are arranged above the conveyor belt 12 along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 12. There is a gap between the lowest point of the turning assembly 21 and the surface of the conveyor belt 12 to avoid contact with the conveyor belt 12 during swinging. The limit frame 23 is used to suspend the swing rod 22. It includes a horizontal section and two vertical sections vertically connected to both ends of the horizontal section. The horizontal section is horizontally arranged and perpendicular to the swing rod 22. The bottom surface of the swing rod 22 is in contact and cooperation with the top surface of the horizontal section. The upper ends of the vertical sections are connected to the upper frame, and the upper frame is installed in the bin 11.

[0019] The swing rod 22 is connected to the upper ends of multiple turning assemblies 21, and the middle of the swing rod 22 is rotatably connected to the rotating rod 24. The rotating rod 24 is eccentrically connected to the rotating disk 25. The rotating disk 25 is coaxially connected to the output shaft of the motor 26. The motor 26 is vertically arranged on the upper frame.

[0020] ​​The medicinal materials are conveyed along with the conveyor belt 12. During the conveyance, the heat source or air source installed in the bin body 11 dries / air-dries them. During this process, the rotating disc 25 is driven by the motor 26 to rotate, and the rotating disc 25 drives the eccentrically arranged rotating rod 24 to move along a circular trajectory. The rotational cooperation relationship between the rotating rod 24 and the swing rod 22 will drive the swing rod 22 to move accordingly, realizing movement on the limit frame 23, thereby driving the turning assembly 21 to swing. The turning assembly 21 acts on the medicinal materials to turn the medicinal materials. By setting the position of the eccentric connection, the swing amplitude is controlled, and the horizontal width of the limit frame 23 is correspondingly set to match the limit amplitude in the width direction.

[0021] Specifically, the turning assembly 21 includes a pair of undulating rods 211 arranged at intervals and along the conveying direction. There is a gap between the undulating rods 211 and the surface of the conveyor belt 12. The undulating rods 211 are respectively connected to the upper cross bar 213 through a vertical rod 212, and the upper cross bar 213 is connected to the swing rod 22. When actually acting on the medicinal materials, it is the undulating rods 211 that contact the medicinal materials. In order to improve the turning effect at different paths in the conveying direction, the pair of undulating rods 211 of the turning assembly 21 can be arranged staggeredly, that is, the coverage ranges in the conveying direction only partially overlap.

[0022] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application and are not used to limit the present application. Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the present application without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application.
