Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of Panax notoginseng processing, in particular to a vacuum freezer for fresh Panax notoginseng. Background Art

[0002] Panax notoginseng (Panax notoginseng) is a precious Chinese medicinal herb commonly used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Its rhizomes possess numerous benefits, including promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, stopping bleeding, reducing swelling, and providing anti-inflammatory benefits. They are particularly effective in treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, hemostasis after trauma, and anti-tumor effects. Due to its significant medicinal value, Panax notoginseng is widely used in various TCM preparations and health supplements. The active ingredients of Panax notoginseng, including notoginsenosides, flavonoids, and volatile oils, are highly sensitive to temperature and humidity. Therefore, Panax notoginseng must be processed immediately after harvest to maintain its efficacy. Freshly harvested Panax notoginseng rhizomes are typically damp, with a high internal moisture content, which directly impacts storage and subsequent processing. To prevent deterioration during storage or transportation, Panax notoginseng must be dried. Traditional drying methods, such as air drying and hot air drying, often result in the loss of active ingredients, take a long time, and are inefficient. Therefore, vacuum freeze-drying technology has gradually become an effective means of drying Panax notoginseng, which can quickly remove moisture at a lower temperature, maximize the retention of Panax notoginseng's medicinal ingredients, and improve drying efficiency.

[0003] The patent with publication number CN218600124U discloses a Panax notoginseng vacuum freeze-drying device, comprising an outer shell, a mounting cover detachably mounted on the outer shell, a ventilation valve fixedly mounted on the mounting cover, an outer box fixedly mounted inside the outer shell, an inner box disposed inside the outer box, densely ventilated holes being drilled through the inner box, a material limiting mechanism disposed inside the inner box, the material limiting mechanism comprising a limiting spring, and multiple groups of material limiting mechanisms, which are evenly distributed from top to bottom inside the inner box. During the rotation and dehydration process of the inner box, the limiting springs are affected by centrifugal force and contract, and the contracted limiting springs will tightly clamp the material. By providing the material limiting mechanism, the effect of controlling the uniform distribution of the material in the inner box is achieved, thereby improving the material drying efficiency and the integrity of the material.

[0004] While the above-mentioned prior art has improved drying efficiency, it still has some shortcomings during use. After drying, the Panax notoginseng often accumulates at the bottom of the inner box, which is fixedly connected to the motor output shaft, making it difficult to remove the dried Panax notoginseng. This not only affects the ease of operation but also directly reduces the efficiency of drying the next batch of Panax notoginseng. To address the above issues, it is urgent to improve the existing equipment. In view of this, we propose a vacuum freezer for fresh Panax notoginseng. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a vacuum freezer for fresh Panax notoginseng materials, so as to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A vacuum freezer for fresh Panax notoginseng materials includes a vacuum freezer body. The vacuum freezer body is a prior art, and its specific structural composition will not be elaborated too much. The working principle of the vacuum freezer body is as follows: Place the prepared fresh Panax notoginseng materials in the drying chamber of the vacuum freeze dryer. Start the vacuum system, and the vacuum pump starts to work, quickly pumping out the air in the drying chamber to rapidly reduce the air pressure in the drying chamber to the set expected range. Since the boiling point of water significantly decreases in a low-pressure environment, the establishment of a vacuum not only helps the subsequent sublimation process but also avoids the high-temperature damage to the active ingredients in Panax notoginseng during water evaporation. When the air pressure in the drying chamber drops to the preset value, the refrigeration machine starts to work, rapidly reducing the temperature of the drying chamber to -40°C or below. At this time, the water in the fresh Panax notoginseng materials quickly freezes in the form of ice crystals. The core of this process is that low-temperature freezing can ensure that the water inside the fresh Panax notoginseng materials freezes into solid ice crystals without damaging the cell structure, thus providing a stable basis for the subsequent sublimation drying process. After the fresh Panax notoginseng materials are completely frozen, it enters the crucial drying stage. At this time, the vacuum system maintains a low-pressure environment, and the heating system of the drying chamber starts to work, gradually raising the temperature in the drying chamber to the appropriate sublimation temperature through micro heating. The purpose of heating is to prompt the frozen ice crystals in the fresh Panax notoginseng materials to directly sublimate into water vapor without going through the process of transforming into liquid water. Under vacuum and appropriate temperature control, the water in the fresh Panax notoginseng materials gradually sublimates from solid ice crystals into gaseous water vapor. At the same time, the water vapor condenses into liquid water on the condensation device in the drying chamber and is collected. When the drying process of the fresh Panax notoginseng materials is completely finished, the system automatically stops the heating and refrigeration devices and slowly restores the air pressure in the drying chamber to atmospheric pressure. Subsequently, open the sealing door and take out the dried Panax notoginseng product;
