Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing technology, and in particular to a low-temperature drying device for probiotic fermentation of traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology

[0002] Probiotic fermentation technology can utilize the metabolic activities of probiotics to transform the complex components in traditional Chinese medicine into a form that is more easily absorbed and utilized by the human body, while reducing potential toxicity and improving efficacy. The application of this technology in the processing of traditional Chinese medicine provides a new way to extract the effective components and enhance the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine.

[0003] After probiotics ferment traditional Chinese medicine, the market commonly uses high-temperature direct drying and dehumidification. Although this is more efficient, it not only kills the probiotics that need to be replenished but also deactivates the active ingredients in the fermented herbs. Therefore, a low-temperature drying device is needed to meet the production requirements of probiotic-fermented traditional Chinese medicine. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, which not only kill the probiotics that need to be replenished but also deactivate the effective components of fermented Chinese herbal medicines. Therefore, this invention proposes a low-temperature drying device for fermenting Chinese herbal medicines with probiotics.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A low-temperature drying device for fermenting Chinese herbal medicines with probiotics includes an outer shell, with an air inlet and an air outlet respectively provided on both sides of the outer wall of the outer shell, and a feeding end provided on the outer wall of the outer shell;

[0007] An auxiliary component for dispersing materials is disposed inside the outer shell. The auxiliary component includes a transmission rod rotatably disposed inside the outer shell and a spiral blade fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the transmission rod. An inner cylinder is fixedly disposed inside the outer shell, and the spiral blade is located inside the inner cylinder. Multiple through holes are opened at the bottom of the outer wall of the inner cylinder.

[0008] A sealing plate is used to seal the bottom end of the inner cylinder, and the sealing plate is rotatably mounted at the bottom of the outer shell.

[0009] In one possible design, the bottom of the housing is shaped like an inverted frustum.

[0010] In one possible design, the auxiliary component further includes at least one scraper located between the outer shell and the inner cylinder, with a connecting plate fixedly disposed on the top of the scraper, and one end of the connecting plate fixedly disposed on the outer wall of the transmission rod.

[0011] In one possible design, an installation plate is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the housing, a threaded rod is provided on one side of the installation plate, and the installation plate is threaded onto the outer wall of the threaded rod. A slot is provided on the outer wall of the sealing plate, and one end of the threaded rod mates with the slot. A handwheel is fixedly provided on the other end of the threaded rod.

[0012] In one possible design, a servo motor is fixedly mounted on the top of the housing, and the output end of the servo motor rotates through the housing and is fixedly mounted on the top end of the transmission rod.

[0013] In one possible design, filters are provided on the inner walls of both the air inlet and outlet.

[0014] In one possible design, a support is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the housing.

[0015] In this application, during actual use, the raw material is conveyed to the inside of the outer shell through the feeding end. The drive servo motor drives the transmission rod to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the spiral blades. The raw material enters the inside of the inner cylinder through the through hole. At this time, the raw material will be conveyed upward by the spiral blades. When it is conveyed to the top, it will fall. The hot air blower and other equipment are connected to the air inlet to send hot air into the inside of the outer shell. At this time, the fallen and dispersed raw material will be dried. Then it will fall back between the outer shell and the inner cylinder, and the cycle can be repeated. When the transmission rod rotates, it will drive the scraper to rotate through the connecting plate. The scraper will push the raw material between the outer shell and the inner cylinder to prevent the raw material from getting stuck between the two through holes and being unable to enter the inside of the inner cylinder. After all the drying is completed, the handwheel is turned, which drives the threaded rod to rotate and disengage it from the slot. At this time, the sealing plate will open and discharge the dried raw material.

[0016] In this utility model, the low-temperature drying device for probiotic fermentation of Chinese herbal medicines uses spiral blades to convey the material to the top and then scatter it for drying, so that it can be heated evenly and the drying efficiency can be improved.

[0017] In this utility model, the low-temperature drying device for probiotic fermentation of Chinese herbal medicines, by means of an inverted frustum shape, allows the material located inside the outer shell to smoothly enter the inner cylinder through the through hole, and then be conveyed by the spiral blades.

[0018] In this invention, the raw materials are conveyed to the top and then fall. The scattered raw materials are then dried by hot air to remove the moisture produced after fermentation, thus avoiding the problem of killing probiotics and deactivating effective ingredients due to high-temperature drying and dehumidification.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] Reference Figure 1-2 A low-temperature drying device includes: a shell 1, with an air inlet 4 and an air outlet 6 respectively provided on both sides of the outer wall of the shell 1. The air inlet 4 is connected to a hot air blower to introduce heated and filtered low-temperature air, with the optimal temperature between 40 and 55 degrees Celsius. The air outlet 6 is used to discharge moisture and waste gas generated during the drying process. The outer wall of the shell 1 is also provided with a feeding end 3 to facilitate the feeding of the Chinese herbal medicine materials to be dried into the device.

[0026] Inside the outer shell 1, an auxiliary component is installed to disperse the material for drying. This component includes a transmission rod 7, which is rotatably mounted inside the outer shell 1, with its top end connected to the output of a servo motor 2 fixedly mounted on the top of the outer shell 1. The servo motor 2 drives the transmission rod 7 to rotate, thereby operating the entire auxiliary component. A set of spiral blades 8 are fixedly fitted onto the outer wall of the transmission rod 7, located within an inner cylinder 9 fixed inside the outer shell 1. The inner cylinder 9 is also cylindrical, with multiple through holes 10 evenly distributed at the bottom of its outer wall. The raw material inside the outer shell 1 enters the inner cylinder 9 through the through holes 10, is then conveyed upwards by the spiral blades 8, and upon reaching the top, disperses. At this point, it is dried by hot air to remove the moisture produced during fermentation, preventing the direct high-temperature drying from killing probiotics and deactivating active ingredients.

[0027] This application can be used in the field of processing Chinese herbal medicines, or in other fields applicable to this application.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] refer to Figure 2-3 An improvement upon Example 1: A low-temperature drying device for probiotic fermentation of traditional Chinese medicine, applied in the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing. To seal the bottom of the inner cylinder 9 and prevent material leakage, a sealing plate 11 is provided. The sealing plate 11 is rotatably mounted at the bottom of the outer shell 1, and its outer wall has a slot 13. A mounting plate 14 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the outer shell 1. A threaded rod 15 is provided on one side of the mounting plate 14, and the mounting plate 14 is threaded onto the outer wall of the threaded rod 15. One end of the threaded rod 15 engages with the slot 13, and by rotating the threaded rod 15, the sealing plate 11 can be easily fixed and loosened. A handwheel 16 is fixedly mounted on the other end of the threaded rod 15 for easy operation.

[0030] In addition, the auxiliary components also include at least one scraper 17, which is located between the outer shell 1 and the inner cylinder 9. A connecting plate 12 is fixedly provided on the top of the scraper 17, and one end of the connecting plate 12 is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the transmission rod 7 to ensure that the scraper 17 rotates synchronously with the transmission rod 7.

[0031] Specifically, the raw material is fed into the interior of the outer shell 1 through the feed end 3. The drive servo motor 2 drives the transmission rod 7 to rotate, thereby rotating the spiral blades 8. The raw material enters the interior of the inner cylinder 9 through the through hole 10. At this time, the raw material is conveyed upward by the spiral blades 8. When it reaches the top, it will fall. The hot air blower and other equipment are connected to the air inlet 4 to send hot air into the interior of the outer shell 1. The fallen and scattered raw material will be dried and then fall back between the outer shell 1 and the inner cylinder 9. The cycle can be repeated. When the transmission rod 7 rotates, it will drive the scraper 17 to rotate through the connecting plate 12. The scraper 17 will push the raw material between the outer shell 1 and the inner cylinder 9 to prevent the raw material from getting stuck between the two through holes 10 and being unable to enter the interior of the inner cylinder 9. After all the drying is completed, the handwheel 16 is turned, which drives the threaded rod 15 to rotate and disengage it from the slot 13. At this time, the sealing plate 11 will open and discharge the dried raw material.

[0032] To support the entire device, a bracket 5 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the outer casing 1. Filter screens are installed on the inner walls of the air inlet 4 and the air outlet 6 to prevent external impurities from entering the device and to prevent material particles from being blown out, thus ensuring the cleanliness and safety of the drying process.

[0033] However, as is well known to those skilled in the art, the working principle and wiring method of the servo motor 2 are commonplace and are all conventional methods or common knowledge. They will not be described in detail here. Those skilled in the art can make any selections according to their needs or convenience.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
