Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sterilization technology for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, specifically a sterilization box for processing traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoction pieces include some processed TCM slices (including segments, chunks, and petals), whole medicinal materials, and processed or roasted decoction pieces. Sterilization of TCM decoction pieces is an important step in ensuring the quality and safety of TCM.
[0003] Chinese patent CN211876625U discloses a drying and sterilization device for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces. The device includes a housing with a drying and sterilization chamber at the top. A feed inlet is located on one side of the upper surface of the drying and sterilization chamber. A filter plate is located on the front surface of the drying and sterilization chamber, and a dust collection box is located on the front surface of the filter plate. A rotary motor is installed at the center of the upper part of the drying and sterilization chamber. A stirring shaft is located on the lower surface of the rotary motor. Reflective paper is provided on the outer surface of the stirring shaft. Several paddles are evenly installed on the outer surface of the stirring shaft, and reflective paper is also provided on the outer surface of the paddles. Multiple ultraviolet disinfection lamps are fixedly installed on both sides of the inner wall of the drying and sterilization chamber. A bottom plate B and a bottom plate A are located at the bottom of the drying and sterilization chamber. This invention improves the ultraviolet disinfection effect by using reflective paper, saves energy, and facilitates the collection of dried and sterilized traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces.
[0004] However, it still has the following drawbacks: the device uses ultraviolet lamps to sterilize Chinese medicinal herbs and uses a slurry to agitate them, but the ultraviolet lamps have poor penetrating power, and the agitation of the herbs reduces the time they are exposed to the ultraviolet lamps, significantly decreasing the cooling effect of the sterilization process. Therefore, we propose a sterilization chamber for processing Chinese medicinal herbs to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

The mounting rod and elastic block are used to install and position the plastic tube. The sound wave generator heats and sterilizes the Chinese herbal medicine slices. The motor is started, driving the mounting plate and plastic tube to rotate. High heat is generated by the friction between microwaves and the medicinal materials, which inactivates proteins, ribonucleic acid, and enzymes to achieve sterilization. The heating is uniform and the temperature rises rapidly, penetrating into the interior of the Chinese herbal medicine slices, resulting in good sterilization effect and minimal loss of effective components. By setting up an air pump, shell, and suction pipe, starting the air pump makes the air inside the sterilization box circulate, making the air temperature inside the sterilization box more uniform. By setting up a sleeve, drying rod, partition, and mounting shell, the drying rod reduces the humidity of the air. Attached Figure Description
