TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine production technology, specifically to a fermentation tank for traditional Chinese medicine production. BACKGROUND

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine is guided by traditional Chinese medicine theory to collect, process and prepare medicine, explain mechanism and guide clinical application. Traditional Chinese medicine mainly comes from natural medicine and its processed products, including plant medicine, animal medicine, mineral medicine and some chemical and biological products. Since traditional Chinese medicine is mostly plant medicine, it is said that "all medicines are based on grass". During the production of traditional Chinese medicine, fermentation is needed in some cases, usually using a fermentation tank for fermentation.

[0003] The patent document with publication number CN215103204U discloses a fermentation tank for traditional Chinese medicine production, which includes a device main body, an upper surface of the device main body is provided with a feeding port and a motor, a power output end of the motor is also engaged with a speed reducer, a lower end of the speed reducer is provided with a middle shaft penetrating through the device main body, a support plate and a limiting plate are welded inside the device main body, an upper surface of the support plate is also provided with a grinding plate and a baffle, a bottom of the device main body is also provided with a support frame and a discharge port, and two liquid inlet ports are also provided on the outside of the device main body. Through the matched auxiliary structure of the middle shaft, the grinding, cutting and stirring structures inside are provided, the three-step structure is from top to bottom, which can provide sufficient treatment for medicinal materials, and the integrated structure is more convenient to process without the need to take out the materials during process replacement. However, the existing technology still has defects:

[0004] (1) The fermentation tank of the existing technology mixes traditional Chinese medicine and medicinal liquid together after fermentation, which is not convenient for solid-liquid separation of traditional Chinese medicine residues and medicinal liquid, resulting in the need for further filtration treatment after the medicinal liquid is discharged, and secondary pollution is easily caused during the separation process. When the fermented residues are discharged from the discharge port at the bottom of the fermentation tank, there are many residues in the fermented medicinal liquid, which easily block the discharge port during natural discharge, resulting in reduced discharge efficiency, longer unloading time for workers and reduced work efficiency of workers. At the same time, it is not convenient to clean the fermentation tank, resulting in a long production cycle.

[0005] (2) The fermentation tank of the existing technology only stirs during fermentation, and the stirring is unidirectional, which takes a long time for stirring and mixing, has poor stirring efficiency and poor uniformity of mixing, cannot meet people's needs, reduces the stirring and fermentation effect of the fermentation tank and reduces the efficiency of traditional Chinese medicine during fermentation, which is inconvenient to use.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment proposes a fermentation tank for traditional Chinese medicine production, including a base 1, a tank body 2 on the top of the base 1, and a sealing top cover 3 on the top of the tank body 2. The sealing top cover 3 has a rubber sealing gasket at the bottom to facilitate sealing of the tank body 2 during fermentation. Fixing blocks 21 are fixedly connected to both ends of the top of the outer wall of the tank body 2, and L-shaped connecting rods 31 are fixedly connected to both ends of the sealing top cover 3. Fixing bolts 32 are threaded between the L-shaped connecting rods 31 and the fixing blocks 21. The sealing top cover 3 can be removed by unscrewing the fixing bolts 32.

[0031] The tank body 2 is equipped with a filter cylinder 4, which has a mesh structure to prevent Chinese medicinal materials from entering the liquid during fermentation and stirring. The top of the tank body 2 has multiple slots 22, which are distributed in a circle. The top of the outer wall of the filter cylinder 4 is fixedly connected with multiple locking blocks 41. The locking blocks 41 are used in conjunction with the slots 22 to lock together, thereby facilitating the fixed installation of the filter cylinder 4 inside the tank body 2.

[0032] The filter screen cylinder 4 is internally provided with a stirring structure 5, which comprises a support 51 fixedly connected to the top of the sealing top cover 3. A motor 52 is fixedly installed on the inner wall top of the support 51. A rotating shaft 53 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 52. A bevel gear one 54 is fixedly connected to the outer wall upper end of the rotating shaft 53. A bevel gear two 55 is rotatably connected to one end of the inner wall of the support 51. The bevel gear two 55 is meshingly connected to the bevel gear one 54. One end of the rotating shaft 53 penetrates through the sealing top cover 3 and the end thereof extends into the inside of the filter screen cylinder 4. A sleeve pipe 56 is rotatably sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 53. The sleeve pipe 56 is rotatably connected to the sealing top cover 3.

The inner wall of the filter screen cylinder 4 can be cleaned to reduce residue of medicinal dregs. A plurality of stirring rods 59 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 53. The rotating shaft 53 is driven to rotate by the motor 52. The rotating shaft 53 drives the stirring rods 59 to rotate. While the rotating shaft 53 rotates, the bevel gear one 54 can be driven to rotate. The bevel gear one 54 drives the meshingly connected bevel gear two 55 to rotate. The bevel gear two 55 drives the meshingly connected bevel gear three 57 to rotate. The bevel gear three 57 drives the sleeve pipe 56 to rotate. At this time, the rotating direction of the sleeve pipe 56 is opposite to that of the rotating shaft 53. The sleeve pipe 56 drives the stirring frame 58 to rotate, so that the stirring frame 58 and the stirring rods 59 are reversely rotated. Thus, the efficiency of stirring and fermentation is improved.

[0033] An inlet pipe 6 is arranged at one end of the top of the sealing top cover 3. A sealing cover 61 is threadedly connected to the top of the inlet pipe 6. The inlet pipe 6 can be used to inject cooling water or warm water or high-temperature water to ensure that the temperature in the fermentation process is constant. Meanwhile, the inlet pipe 6 can be used to open the sealing cover 61 to exhaust air during the fermentation process.

[0034] An outlet pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the tank body 2. An electromagnetic valve is arranged on the outlet pipe 7. After the fermentation is completed, the electromagnetic valve on the outlet pipe 7 can be opened to directly discharge the fermented medicinal liquid.

[0035] Support legs 8 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the base 1. The support legs 8 can be used to stably support the base 1 and the tank body 2.
