Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medicinal material processing, in particular to a medicinal material crushing device. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with rising health awareness, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has become increasingly popular due to its unique therapeutic effects and relatively mild side effects. While the treatment process for TCM is typically longer than that of Western medicine, its combined approach of addressing both the underlying cause and the underlying symptoms, along with its gentle conditioning, makes it a particularly suitable choice for long-term health and well-being. However, the key to fully realizing the benefits of TCM lies in its effective absorption and utilization by the human body.

[0003] Numerous precious Chinese medicinal herbs are highly sought after for their unique medicinal properties. However, these herbs are often hard and difficult to be efficiently absorbed directly by the human body through conventional methods. Therefore, pulverizing equipment is needed to precisely grind these herbs into a fine and uniform powder, greatly improving their bioavailability and enhancing their efficacy.

[0004] However, in the actual use of existing pulverizing equipment, mechanical friction and energy conversion during the pulverization process generate a large amount of heat on the pulverizing blades and the inner walls of the pulverizing chamber, causing the internal temperature of the equipment to rise sharply. Processing Chinese medicinal materials in such a high-temperature environment may not only destroy the active ingredients in the herbs, reducing or even eliminating their efficacy, but may also cause subtle changes in the herbs' properties, affecting the quality of the final product. More seriously, high temperatures can accelerate equipment wear, shorten its service life, and even directly cause equipment failure, affecting production schedules.

[0005] To address this issue, the traditional approach is to periodically shut down equipment for cooling, suspending production to cool down the equipment. However, while this approach can alleviate equipment overheating to a certain extent, it also has the side effect of reducing production efficiency. Frequent shutdowns not only interrupt the continuity of the production process and increase the cost of manual intervention, but can also cause optimal production opportunities to be missed while waiting for equipment to cool, affecting product market supply and the company's economic benefits.

[0021] Compared with the related art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0022] This utility model aims to provide a medicinal material pulverizing device that is efficient and can guarantee the quality of medicinal materials. When medicinal materials need to be pulverized to meet subsequent pharmaceutical or extraction needs, the user first activates the device's drive assembly, which drives the pulverizing assembly located in the pulverizing chamber. The pulverizing assembly then starts to pulverize and grind the medicinal materials to be pulverized.

[0023] At the same time, in order to effectively manage the heat that may be generated during the crushing process and prevent high temperature from damaging the active ingredients of the medicinal materials, the water cooling component is started at the same time as the drive component is started, and low-temperature cooling water is continuously transported to the water flow chamber that closely surrounds the outside of the crushing chamber through the water pipe; the cooling water can quickly absorb and take away the heat generated in the crushing chamber; as the cooling water continues to circulate in the water flow chamber, it not only effectively reduces the temperature of the crushing chamber, but also recovers the heated cooling water through the drain pipe, forming a closed-loop cooling system. This design not only ensures the continuity and uniformity of the cooling effect.

[0024] Moreover, since the crushing chamber of the medicinal material crushing equipment is continuously and effectively cooled by the water-cooling components during operation, this greatly reduces the risk of equipment performance degradation or failure due to high temperature, thereby ensuring that the equipment can perform medicinal material crushing operations for a long time and stably.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a medicinal material pulverizing device for pulverizing medicinal materials, including a main body 100, a driving component 300, and a water cooling component 400.

[0037] A crushing chamber 110 is provided in the main body 100, and a crushing assembly 200 is provided in the crushing chamber 110; the crushing chamber 110 is respectively provided with a feed port 120 and a discharge port 130 which are connected to the outside; the driving assembly 300 is installed on the outside of the main body 100, and the driving assembly 300 is used to drive the crushing assembly 200 to crush the medicinal materials in the crushing chamber 110; the water cooling assembly 400 is arranged on the outside of the main body 100, and a water flow chamber 140 corresponding to the water cooling assembly 400 is provided on the main body 100, and the water flow chamber 140 surrounds the outside of the crushing chamber 110, and a water inlet 141 and a water outlet 142 are provided on the water flow chamber 140, the water inlet 141 is connected to the water pipe 410 of the water cooling assembly 400, and the water outlet 142 is connected to the drain pipe 420 of the water cooling assembly 400.

[0038] In the medicinal material pulverizing device provided in this embodiment, when the medicinal materials need to be pulverized to meet the subsequent pharmaceutical or extraction needs, the user first starts the driving component 300 of the device, so that it drives the pulverizing component 200 located in the pulverizing chamber 110. The pulverizing component 200 is then started to pulverize and grind the medicinal materials to be pulverized. When the driving component 300 is started, the water cooling component 400 is also started, and low-temperature cooling water is continuously delivered to the water flow chamber 140 tightly surrounding the outside of the pulverizing chamber 110 through the water pipe 410; the cooling water can quickly absorb and carry away the heat generated in the pulverizing chamber 110; as the cooling water continues to circulate in the water flow chamber 140, it not only effectively reduces the temperature of the pulverizing chamber 110, but also recovers the heated cooling water through the drain pipe 420, forming a closed-loop cooling system. This design not only ensures the continuity and uniformity of the cooling effect. Moreover, since the crushing chamber 110 of the medicinal material crushing equipment is continuously and effectively cooled by the water cooling component 400 during operation, this greatly reduces the risk of equipment performance degradation or failure due to high temperature, thereby ensuring that the equipment can perform medicinal material crushing operations for a long time and stably.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, in some specific embodiments, the water passage chamber 140 is composed of multiple parallel water passages 143, each of which is connected end-to-end via connecting holes. This design allows the cooling water to be evenly distributed along these parallel water passages 143 as it flows through the water chamber 140, fully covering the entire area outside the pulverizing chamber 110. By ensuring a more complete and uniform flow of cooling water outside the pulverizing chamber 110, this design significantly improves the cooling effect. It not only effectively absorbs and removes heat generated during the pulverizing process, but also prevents local overheating, ensuring that the temperature inside the pulverizing chamber 110 remains within a suitable range.

[0040] In some specific embodiments, the water inlet 141 is disposed on the lowest water channel 143, and the water outlet 142 is disposed on the highest water channel 143. By locating the water inlet 141 on the lowest water channel 143, cooling water entering the water channel chamber 140 flows from bottom to top. Specifically, as cooling water is injected, it first fills and flows through the lowest water channel 143, utilizing its cooling capacity to initially cool the exterior of the adjacent pulverizing chamber 110. When the cooling water in the lowest water channel 143 reaches saturation—that is, when the water level rises sufficiently to overcome gravity or a predetermined overflow barrier—excess cooling water naturally overflows into and fills the next higher adjacent water channel 143. This process proceeds step by step upwards, with each water channel 143 becoming a "step" for the flow of cooling water, ensuring that the cooling water is evenly distributed from bottom to top throughout the water channel 140, and cools the crushing chamber 110 layer by layer. Ultimately, the cooling water, having undergone layer-by-layer filtration and heat exchange, has accumulated sufficient cold and flow potential energy by the time it reaches the top water channel 143, and is then smoothly discharged through the water outlet 142 located at that location. This bottom-up flow method not only ensures that the cooling water can fully contact and cool the outside of each part of the crushing chamber 110, but also improves the overall heat exchange efficiency through the continuous laminar flow effect, making the cooling process of the crushing chamber 110 more comprehensive, in-depth, and efficient.

[0041] In some specific embodiments, the shape of the inner wall of the water channel 143 close to the grinding chamber 110 corresponds to the shape of the inner wall of the grinding chamber 110 , so as to provide uniform heat dissipation throughout the interior of the grinding chamber 110 .

[0042] In some specific embodiments, the crushing assembly 200 includes a cutter disc 210 and a blade 220. The blade 220 is arranged on the outer wall of the cutter disc 210, and multiple blades 220 are evenly distributed relative to the axis of the cutter disc 210; the inner wall of the crushing chamber 110 is provided with crushing teeth 111 corresponding to the blade 220; the rotating shaft of the cutter disc 210 is passed through the main body 100 and is transmission-connected to the driving assembly 300; the driving assembly 300 drives the rotating shaft to rotate, so that the cutter disc 210 can drive the blade 220 and the crushing teeth 111 to move relative to each other, thereby fully crushing and grinding the medicinal materials.

[0043] In some specific embodiments, the drive assembly 300 includes a drive motor 310, which is arranged on the main body 100. The motor shaft of the drive motor 310 is connected to the rotating shaft of the cutter disc 210 through a coupling. The connection method is simple, reasonable and easy to maintain.

[0044] In some specific embodiments, the blade 220 is hingedly connected to the side surface of the blade disc 210. When the blade 220 encounters a medicinal material that is difficult to cut directly, due to its hinged design with the side surface of the blade disc 210, the blade 220 can automatically and adaptively swing according to the direction and magnitude of the obstructing force, thereby avoiding the obstacle and continuing its crushing and grinding work path. This avoidance mechanism not only effectively prevents the risk of damage to the blade 220 due to excessive impact, but also ensures the continuity and stability of the entire crushing process.

[0045] In addition, the hinged connection also enables the blade 220 to maintain good adaptability during long-term use. Even when faced with medicinal materials of different hardness, humidity or shape, it can optimize the cutting effect through slight swing adjustments, further improving the crushing efficiency and the quality of the finished product.

[0046] In some specific embodiments, the water cooling assembly 400 includes a water tank 430. The water supply pipe 410 and the drain pipe 420 are respectively connected to the interior of the water tank 430. A water pump 440 is disposed between the water supply pipe 410 and the water tank 430. The drain pipe 420 is connected to the upper portion of the water tank 430. The pumping section of the water pump 440 extends into the water tank 430 and is located near the bottom of the water tank 430. This arrangement allows the pump 440 to preferentially extract cooling water at a lower temperature after natural settling and heat dissipation, thereby improving cooling efficiency. Meanwhile, the drain pipe 420 is responsible for transporting high-temperature cooling water back to the water tank 430 after completing its cooling task. Its connection point is located at the upper portion of the water tank 430, meaning that upon entering the water tank 430, the high-temperature cooling water first rises to the top and then slowly sinks under the influence of gravity. During this sinking process, the high-temperature cooling water exchanges heat with the air within the water tank 430, gradually releasing heat and lowering its temperature. This design not only promotes efficient heat dissipation but also makes the water temperature distribution within the water tank 430 more uniform, helping to maintain a stable cooling effect. When the water pump 440 is activated, it preferentially draws low-temperature cooling water, which has already been fully cooled, from the bottom of the water tank 430. This cooling water is then transported to the water passage chamber 140 outside the grinding chamber 110, which requires cooling, providing excellent heat dissipation.

[0047] In some specific embodiments, a feed hopper 121 and a discharge hopper 131 are respectively provided outside the feed port 120 and the discharge port 130 , so as to facilitate feeding materials into the crushing chamber 110 through the feed port 120 and receiving materials from the discharge port 130 .

[0048] In some specific embodiments, a baffle plate 150 is provided outside the feed port 120, and the baffle plate 150 is connected to the main body 100 by bolts. The baffle plate 150 is provided with a long hole for the bolt to pass through, so that the position of the baffle plate 150 and the feed port 120 can be adjusted by loosening the bolt, thereby adjusting the opening size of the feed port 120 and adjusting the feeding speed.

[0049] In some specific embodiments, a temperature detection probe is provided within the pulverizing chamber 110, and the temperature detection probe is externally connected to a control module, which is electrically connected to the water pump 440 and configured to control the power of the water pump 440. Specifically, when the temperature detection probe detects an increase in the temperature within the pulverizing chamber 110, it immediately converts this information into an electrical signal and transmits it to the control module. Upon receiving the signal, the control module rapidly activates a preset cooling strategy, increasing the pumping power of the water pump 440 to accelerate the circulation of cooling water, thereby removing more heat and reducing the temperature within the pulverizing chamber 110. Conversely, if the temperature within the pulverizing chamber 110 has already dropped to within a preset safety range, the control module will correspondingly reduce the pumping power of the water pump 440 to avoid unnecessary energy consumption and resource waste caused by excessive cooling.
