Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of Chinese medicine slice sterilization equipment, in particular to steam fumigation sterilization equipment for Chinese medicine slices. Background Art
[0002] As an important part of traditional Chinese medicine, the quality and safety of Chinese herbal medicines are directly related to the treatment effect and physical health of patients. In the processing of Chinese herbal medicines, sterilization is a crucial link, which is directly related to the microbial content and overall quality of the product. When performing sterilization operations, corresponding sterilization equipment is usually used. Traditional Chinese herbal medicine sterilization methods mostly use high-temperature drying or chemical agent immersion. These methods are often difficult to ensure the uniformity and stability of the sterilization effect, especially for Chinese herbal medicines with irregular shapes and large density differences. It is often difficult to achieve the ideal sterilization effect inside.
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of traditional sterilization methods, steam fumigation sterilization technology has gradually attracted attention. Steam fumigation sterilization technology uses the penetrating and bactericidal ability of high-temperature steam to sterilize Chinese herbal medicines evenly and efficiently. Steam fumigation can penetrate deeply into the interior of Chinese herbal medicines to achieve a comprehensive and uniform sterilization effect, effectively kill various microorganisms, and improve the quality of Chinese herbal medicines.
[0004] When performing steam fumigation sterilization operations, corresponding steam fumigation sterilization equipment is usually used. There are many types of steam fumigation sterilization equipment on the market. Most steam fumigation sterilization equipment uses steam to sterilize from one side. Passing steam from one side will cause the steam to enter various parts of the sterilization equipment unevenly. In addition, most sterilization equipment also lacks stirring components, which is not conducive to the steam to fully sterilize the Chinese herbal medicine pieces in the sterilization equipment, affecting the sterilization effect and bringing inconvenience to users. In view of this, we proposed a steam fumigation sterilization equipment for Chinese herbal medicine pieces. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] Please refer to Figures 1-4, the present utility model provides a technical solution: a steam fumigation and sterilization device for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, including a fumigation and sterilization cylinder 1. A top cover 13 is fixedly installed at the top of the fumigation and sterilization cylinder 1. A heat insulation backing plate 14 is fixedly installed at the center position of the upper surface of the top cover 13. A stirring motor 2 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the heat insulation backing plate 14. The end of the output shaft of the stirring motor 2 is fixedly installed with a vertical long shaft 20. The long shaft 20 passes through the heat insulation backing plate 14 and the top cover 13 and can rotate freely; a stirring blade 21 is fixedly installed on the long shaft 20. The stirring blade 21 is located inside the fumigation and sterilization cylinder 1 to achieve the stirring operation;
[0028] Specifically, a steam inlet assembly 3 is provided on the fumigation and sterilization cylinder 1. The steam inlet assembly 3 includes a steam pipe 30. The outlet end of the steam pipe 30 is fixedly installed with an annular pipe 31. The annular pipe 31 is sleeved on the fumigation and sterilization cylinder 1. The bottom of the annular pipe 31 is fixedly installed with a plurality of vertical pipes 32 arranged at equal intervals in a ring shape. The bottom end of the vertical pipe 32 is fixedly installed with an inclined pipe 33. The inclined pipe 33 is fixedly installed on the fumigation and sterilization cylinder 1 and is connected to the inside of the fumigation and sterilization cylinder 1, so as to achieve the effect of introducing steam into the fumigation and sterilization cylinder 1 from multiple directions and making the introduction of steam more uniform.
[0029] In this embodiment, the number of the vertical pipes 32 is 3 to 6, and the inclined pipe 33 is arranged to be inclined downward at 45° to 60°, so that the introduced steam is more uniform. At the same time, it also makes it difficult for the traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces to enter the inclined pipe 33.
[0030] Specifically, a discharge hopper 10 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fumigation and sterilization cylinder 1. The bottom end of the discharge hopper 10 is fixedly installed with a discharge pipe 11. A first discharge valve 111 is fixedly installed on the discharge pipe 11, which is convenient for opening the first discharge valve 111 for discharging operation.
[0031] Furthermore, a plurality of support legs 12 arranged at equal intervals in a ring shape are fixedly installed at the bottom of the fumigation and sterilization cylinder 1. The distance between the bottom surface of the discharge pipe 11 and the ground is greater than 20 cm, so as to achieve stable support operation by using the support legs 12.
[0032] In addition, a gas discharge pipe 15 is fixedly installed on the top cover 13. An inlet pipe 16 is also fixedly installed on the top cover 13. The top end of the inlet pipe 16 is fixedly installed with an inlet hopper 17. A second discharge valve 171 is fixedly installed on the inlet hopper 17, which is convenient for feeding operation.
[0033] It should be noted that an observation cylinder 18 is fixedly installed on the cylinder body of the fumigation and sterilization cylinder 1. A cover plate 181 is fixedly installed on the front side of the observation cylinder 18. A transparent plate 182 is arranged at the center position of the cover plate 181, which is convenient for observation through the transparent plate 182.
[0034] It should be noted that the cover plate 181 and the observation cylinder 18 are fixedly connected by a plurality of fastening screws, which is convenient for loading and unloading operations; the observation cylinder 18 is arranged at an angle of 15 degrees to 45 degrees downward, so that the traditional Chinese medicine pieces falling from top to bottom are not easily introduced into the observation cylinder 18.
[0035] When the traditional Chinese medicine piece steam fumigation and sterilization equipment of the present utility model is in use, the first discharge valve 111 is closed, the second discharge valve 171 is opened, and the fumigation and sterilization cylinder 1 is added from the feed hopper 17 part towards the fumigation and sterilization cylinder 1. After the addition is completed, the second discharge valve 171 is closed. Then, the steam pipe 30 is connected to the external steam inlet pipe. As the steam enters, the steam can enter the fumigation and sterilization cylinder 1 from the ends of a plurality of inclined pipes 33 to achieve the sterilization operation; in addition, the stirring motor 2 is connected to the external power supply and made to work. When the stirring motor 2 works, the output shaft thereon rotates to drive the long shaft 20 and the stirring blades 21 to rotate. When the stirring blades 21 rotate, the traditional Chinese medicine pieces in the fumigation and sterilization cylinder 1 are stirred, promoting more sufficient steam sterilization. After the sterilization is completed, the first discharge valve 111 is opened for discharging operation, which is convenient for use.
[0036] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and the descriptions in the specification are only preferred examples of the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.
