Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of fermentation equipment, in particular to a germination and fermentation box for preparing Chinese medicinal materials. Background Art

[0002] In the processing of Chinese medicinal materials, germination and fermentation are important processing steps. Traditional germination and fermentation boxes are used to place Chinese medicinal materials in the box for fermentation. The Chinese medicinal materials are placed in multiple layers in the box, and each layer is provided with a supporting structure. The Chinese medicinal material fermentation method refers to a preparation method in which the purified or processed medicines are subjected to the catalytic decomposition of molds and enzymes under certain temperature and humidity conditions, causing the medicines to foam and germinate. The Chinese medicinal materials prepared by this method have their components transformed by probiotics from large molecules to small molecules that are absorbed by the human body. At the same time, it can also decompose the toxicity in the Chinese medicinal materials and improve the taste of the Chinese medicinal materials.

[0003] After searching, the application (publication number) is CN221501104U, which discloses: an adjustable germination and fermentation box, "including: a box body, which is the main body of the structure; electric slide rails, which are all installed inside the box body; cylinders, which are all arranged on the surface of the electric slide rails; piston rods, which are all connected to the output ends of the cylinders; brackets, which are all fixed to the bottom ends of the piston rods; and rotating rods, which are all connected to the inner sides of the brackets" and other technical features, with "overcoming the shortcomings of the existing technology, by arranging the electric slide rails, the motor, the first gear, the second gear, the rotating rod and the paddle, the paddle can be rotated under the action of the motor to turn the medicinal materials in the holding tank, so that the medicinal materials can be evenly germinated and fermented, thereby improving the germination and fermentation quality, and can directly push the scraper, which can move in the slide groove through the slider to better clean the corners in the holding tank. After being pushed to the front end, the baffle can be flipped open to sort out the residue in the holding tank" and other technical effects;

[0004] Because the germination rack of this device is fixed inside the box, it can provide a good environment for fermentation. During germination, Chinese medicinal materials can be divided into negative plants, positive plants, and shade-tolerant plants according to their light intensity requirements. Negative plants such as Panax notoginseng and Coptis chinensis prefer diffuse light and cannot tolerate direct sunlight, so they do not need strong light when germinating. However, positive plants such as Desmodium sibiricum and Rehmannia glutinosa require sufficient light when germinating, so the flexibility of the device needs to be improved.

[0005] Secondly, since the box and the bracket are fixed structures, only a single tray can be taken out of the box at a time after germination or fermentation, which is inconvenient to use and not conducive to the germination or fermentation of the next batch of Chinese medicinal materials. It is labor-intensive and inefficient.

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the present application proposes a Chinese medicinal material preparation, germination and fermentation box. Utility Model Content

[0031] See also Figure 1-6 As shown, the utility model is a germination and fermentation box for preparing Chinese medicinal materials, comprising a box body 1 and a transfer seat 2 matched therewith. A box door is provided at the front end of the box body 1, a movable bracket 3 is provided inside the box body 1, the bracket 3 is provided with a pull-out material tray 4, a two-way clamping block 5 is fixed to the bottom of the bracket 3, a first clamping seat 6 which is clamped and matched with one end of the two-way clamping block 5 is provided at the lower end of the inside of the box body 1, a second clamping seat 8 which is clamped and matched with the other end of the two-way clamping block 5 is provided at the upper end of the transfer seat 2, a positioning plate 7 which is positioned with the box body 1 is provided on the transfer seat 2, and the positioning plate 7 also simultaneously disengages the first clamping seat 6 from the clamping with the two-way clamping block 5, and the bracket 3 moves between the box body 1 and the transfer seat 2.

[0032] Among them, a first track 11 is fixed to the bottom inner side of the box body 1, universal wheels 21 are fixed to the four corners of the bottom of the transfer seat 2, a second track 22 is fixed to the upper end of the transfer seat 2, and the cross-section of the second track 11 coincides with that of the first track 11 is fixed, and rollers 31 that roll between the first track 11 and the second track 22 are fixed to the four corners of the bottom of the bracket 3. In this embodiment, the first track 11 and the second track 22 cooperate with the rollers 31 to facilitate the smooth movement of the bracket 3 between the box body 1 and the transfer seat 2, and the universal wheels 21 facilitate the movement of the transfer seat 2 and the bracket 3.

[0033] Among them, the first card seat 6 includes a first connecting seat 61 fixed to the bottom inner side of the box body 1 and a first clamping plate 62 symmetrically hinged inside the first connecting seat 61, and a first spring 63 arranged between the rear end of the first clamping plate 62 and the first connecting seat 61; the front end of the first clamping plate 62 is engaged with one end of the two-way clamping block 5 through the first spring 63, and the outer end of the first spring 63 protrudes from the side of the first connecting seat 61, and the positioning plates 7 are two symmetrical pieces and fixed to the upper end of the transfer seat 2 close to the side of the box body 1. The distance between the two positioning plates 7 is the same width as the first connecting seat 61. After the positioning plate 7 moves toward the first holder 6, it moves along the two side walls of the first connecting seat 61 and pushes the end of the first card plate 62 inward and causes the front end of the first card plate 62 to disengage from the two-way block 5. In this embodiment, the first card plate 62 is coordinated with the positioning plate 7, and the positioning plate 7 can be inserted to realize the positioning of the box body 1 and the transfer seat 2, while the first holder 6 is disengaged from the engagement between the two-way block 5, thereby facilitating the removal of the bracket 3 from the inside of the box body 1.

A second spring 87 is also provided between the slide rod 85 and the second connecting seat 82. The baffle rod 86 slides in contact with the outer wall of the rear end of the second card plate 83 under the action of the second spring 87. In this embodiment, the movable groove 84, the slide rod 85 and the baffle rod 86 cooperate with the second spring 87. Figure 5 The second card holder 8 shown in the figure outputs a reset state. At this time, since the slide bar 85 has moved to the end of the movable groove 84 under the action of the second spring 87, the second card plate 83 remains in the engaged state. When the slide bar 85 is pulled backward and moves toward the other end of the movable groove 84, the gear lever 86 prompts the second card plate 83 to rotate and rotates the second card plate 83 to the engaged disengaged state. By utilizing the second spring 87, the second card plate 83 can be kept in the engaged state, and the hand lever 88 can be in the reset state at the same time. This structure has the advantages of high coordination and flexibility, and is easy to use.

The hand rod 88 is pulled to cause the front end of the second clamping plate 83 to disengage from the two-way clamping block 5. In this embodiment, the provision of the pulling hand rod 88 facilitates the rapid disengagement between the front end of the second clamping plate 83 and the two-way clamping block 5, thereby facilitating the rapid disengagement of the bracket 3 on the transfer seat 2.

[0036] It can be understood that by setting up a transfer seat and setting up a first track, a universal wheel, a second track, and a roller between the bracket and the box body and the transfer seat, it is convenient to quickly switch the bracket between the box body and the transfer seat, and then the germinated or fermented Chinese medicinal materials can be quickly transferred, thereby improving work efficiency. Secondly, the cooperation between the two-way card block and the first card seat and the second card seat can quickly position the bracket on the box body and the transfer seat, thereby improving stability and ease of use.

[0037] A specific application of this embodiment is: Figure 2 The figure shows the assembled state of the bracket 3 and the box body 1. At this time, the first card seat 6 and the two-way card block 5 are in a locked state. The transfer seat 2 is moved to the front of the box body 1 through the universal wheel 21 and the two positioning plates 7 are inserted along the two side walls of the first card seat 6 until the transfer seat 2 is in contact with the box body 1. At this time, the positioning plate 7 squeezes the end of the first card plate 62 and disengages the front end from the two-way card block 5. The first connecting seat 61 is compressed. At the same time, the end faces of the first track 11 and the second track 22 coincide with each other, and the foot resists or brakes the universal wheel 21 to pull the bracket 3 outward from the inside of the box body 1. The universal wheel 21 rolls from the first track 11 to the second track 22. At the same time, the two-way card block 5 is disengaged from the first card seat 6 and the other end is engaged with the front end of the second card plate 83 under the action of the second spring 87, and the bracket 3 is locked on the transfer seat 2.

[0038] When the bracket 3 needs to be pushed from the transfer seat 2 to the inside of the box body 1: hold the hand rod 88 and pull it outward, the second spring 87 is stretched, the slide rod 85 slides inside the second card plate 83, and the gear rod 86 moves toward the rear end of the second card plate 83. Through the lever principle, the front end of the second card plate 83 is disengaged from the engagement with the first card seat 6. At this time, the bracket 3 is pushed toward the inside of the box body 1 on the transfer seat 2, and the two-way card block 5 is docked with the first card seat 6 but not engaged. After the transfer seat 2 is removed, the positioning plate 7 is disengaged from the force on the first card seat 6, and under the action of the first spring 63, the front end of the first card plate 62 is engaged and locked with the two-way card block 5.
